| 6th July 2006 Kyra | Rowntree P.S cares about Lyndsey's quest - From: ...And then I got Malaria... As of June 30, 2006, the staff and students at Rowntree P.S in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, raised over $2,500.00 for Future Island school. The school also sent many needed resources to make teaching effective. The fundraising has not stopped.... We'll continue in September 2006. The Mayor of Brampton, Ontario, Canada, Susan Fennell, congratulated the students, community and staff when they raised $1,500.00 in mid June. Mayor Fennell also contributed to the fundraising. The staff and students plan to continue their fundraising activities during the 2006-2007 school year. Thank you Lindsey for sharing your quest with us. We are a new school and our building cost in the millions. We want to share our enthusiasm with the children of Offinso by continuing our fundraising. If your reading this blog, then you care. Help fundraise. Together we can make a difference! Lots of love Lindsey, Kyra, staff, R.P.S. community and students |

| 22nd June 2006 Anchal | - From: ...And then I got Malaria... Gawd! I'm glad to hear that you're healthy now, but still. I know you're taking good care of urself, so I won't say, "take care", but you know what I mean. |
| 21st June 2006 Tiffers | Yay! Malaria! (Ok, so, not yay.) - From: ...And then I got Malaria... I hope you have a million pictures for me to look at when you come home! I want to lay in your bed with you and your pictures and you can explain everything and tell me all your stories of your adventure! I miss you! Glad you're happy and healthy! |
| 21st June 2006 Steve | Amazing - From: ...And then I got Malaria... Great pictures. Love the hat. And I thought it was cool to put a baby crock and here you are riding a full sized one. I'm glad you're over the Malaria. Keep the blogs coming, they're great. All the best Steve |
| 21st June 2006 Sally | - From: ...And then I got Malaria... I am completely amazed at what you get up to!! Amazed and awed ... a lesser person would have avoided the crocodile in a dress, but "our Lindsey", well she just went ahead. P.S. Why were you wearing a dress? On a more serious note, relieved to hear that the malaria incident is passed ... Love the photos!! |
| 19th June 2006 Your Aunt Bev | a suggestion - From: Kittens in my Classroom? I would make chart stories using the words you have been working on with the kids. You can make a story about the new kittens to make it interesting for them. Any other ideas that catch their interest and incorporate the words they have learned. You can do all sorts of things with the chart stories. Cut up the sentences into strips and have them put it back in order. Have them write their own ending. Blank out some of the words in the chart story and have them put in the right word etc. Hope this helps. You can always email me at b_townsend@sympatico.ca. Aunt Bev |
| 18th June 2006 Anchal | - From: On my way out of town Feeding chickens to crocodiles!? yech. LoL. Glad to be updated, I love hearing about your time out there. Have fun, keep safe. Smile. |

| 6th June 2006 Dan | Phonics - From: Kittens in my Classroom? Linds! Ghana and Italy are in the same group - apparently this is Italy's year too! I'll see what I can come up with for the reading...after working at Kumon for the last 8 years you think I could get you something! Happy Birthday! It's so great to hear from you. |
| 5th June 2006 Tiffers | I'm no teacher... - From: Kittens in my Classroom? I'm no teacher, but I know a little bit about memory (ah, cognition class...). Perhaps instead of giving them LISTS of words to read, give them STRINGS of words to read - you know, like, sentences? ;) And, if you're working one on one with them, maybe you could ask them to explain what the sentence MEANS - proving that they understood what they read, not just spoke what they read. ...If that makes sense. I miss you! I love you! And happy birthday! (It's still June 5th, here...I'm not late!) |
| 5th June 2006 Mike | Socker Pool - From: Kittens in my Classroom? I got Ghana in the Soccer pool at work don't worry :) |

I can imagine everything in my head so clearly, because its not tht much different from some of the small villages i've visited in india. lol, ive dealt with no "light" consistently (which is what we call electricity back home), and also have had the pleasure of bathing with bucketed water, though not rainwater. =) Keep smiling! and you'll do beautifully at teaching.
