Me... I'm still just nicely thinking.... this has nothing to do with my open letter??

I'm thrilled and tickled to death 😃!

This morning on forum:

SWASCO ANNOUNCEMENT

Kindly take note that the water bowser is in Livingstone until this water challenge we are facing stabilizes.Those areas that are not yet receiving water, let us know so that we start supplying using the water bowser.Once again, SWSC regrets the inconvenience this has caused.

At Kool Kidz Pre & Primary School, Highlands, Livingstone, Zambia , we are 100% into The Scientific way of teaching reading which is via PHONICS. Simply put, a teacher can't go wrong with this method of teaching and as it says in this article, if a kid learns to decode words (sound out), that child wouldn't shy away from tackling words with more than three syllables e.g "incredible" if they have been taught in the scientific way...

Have we been teaching our kids to read in the wrong way for decades?

Have we been teaching our kids to read in the wrong way for decades? A new approach to teaching children how to read has been implemented in schools across the country, with educators seeing a dramatic improvement in scores.

I had promised cake... Couldn't get out of it even though my birthday was last Saturday! Lots of smiles from the Kool Kidz! Worthwhile ❤️!

Kool Kidz Reception Class kids checking out new books added to our upcoming library by Antonia Banyard when she and her sister, my friend Jocelyne visited Livingstone a couple of weeks back. Unfortunately, the kids were on their very brief one week holiday but they do say a big THANK YOU, Antonia and they send their love too!

Ever so true!
