Ms. Bain's Updates & Reflections

For Teachers/Staff/Admin

The Urafiki Link seeks to connect YOU - as a teacher/staff of Bodwell - with teachers, staff, and classrooms in Kenya. Whether or not you are able to visit the schools here, you can begin by enriching your classroom experience in three main ways:

1. JAMBO Introductions

1. Mentor teachers: see student overview to support students, and see Class Linkages to check for your 'partner' class in Kenya.
2. Complete a ‘staff profile’ emailed to your staff email; send to malibain at yahoo.ca
3. Read the staff profiles from Kenyan staff at Maai Mahiu Secondary, Longonot Secondary, Karima Secondary. Write messages, send ideas, work together as desired!
4. Encourage your class to send SOMETHING to your class in Kenya - a photograph, video, gift (financial or otherwise)... See here for donation ideas.

2. TUENDE Extracurricular

1. Check out the ideas already begun
2. Take digital photos/video of activities; send the files to malibain at yahoo.ca
3. Check out photos from parallel groups in Kenya on this this page, or email malibain at yahoo.ca to ask for videos emailed directly to you.
4. Enjoy!

3. PAMOJA During class

1. Check out the ideas already begun
2. Send your ideas to malibain at yahoo.ca
3. Take digital photos/video of projects, activities, experiments, etc; or, send egs of ‘best student work’ in Powerpoint or Word.
4. Receive photos/video/files from Kenya to show in your class. Use the clips to reinforce or expand upon topics covered in class.

 Thank You for taking the time to read the above. Hopefully you both enjoy and benefit from a connection with schools in Kenya.
