I know what I see- There is grace at work, here.

Welcome to Linokong High School!

I love my school, colleagues, and especially my students. I’m so lucky to get to come to work with such amazing people and kids every day! Here’s a quick glance around my school, Linokong High School!

My awesome, Form D (11th grade) class! I'm their class teacher (like a home-room teacher) and also teach them Physics…
They’re a great, and very smart, group of kids!

Just a few of the classroom buildings at Linokong- We have 2 Form A (8th grade) classes, 2 Form B (9th grade) classes, 2 Form C (10th grade) classes, 1 Form D (11th grade), and 1 Form E (12th grade). That’s a total of about 400 students. :)

Inside the Teachers’ Staffroom! My desk is the one in the lower photo (with the jacket draped on the chair)… It’s notably empty in these photos, but normally it’s full of my crazy, hilarious colleagues singing 90’s music and joking around. :)

Our Science Lab, from the outside. I’m incredibly lucky that my school has one!DSC_0713Inside the Science Lab… I’m currently in the process of reorganizing it, and turning it into a usable space where students can actually study and do science experiments! Horray for hands-on learning!

The Form C students with their garden plots! They were so excited to get to stand by their plants for a picture! :)

GREEEN PEPPERS! So delicious! In their Agriculture Class, the students take care of the gardens, and then the food grown in them goes to help provide food for school lunches. It’s a great program! You should have seen the kids canning peaches from the orchards a few weeks ago- I’ve never seen so many jars of peaches in my life!

The fun is over… And back to class they go!
