Successful Skyping

Today was a great day for the CHUMS partnership. We had a Skype conference between the Kindergarten classes at both Chumbageni and The Key School.

The Tanzanian students practiced their English by introducing themselves and saying “Good Morning!” while the American students asked some great questions about life here in Tanga. Both classes sang songs for each other and were delighted to talk with their new friends. Victoria was nice enough to record the entire conversation with the Flip Camera so I can share it with everyone who wasn’t able to join us!

The teachers at Chumbageni were thrilled and deemed the conference a huge success! They have asked me to set up more of these sessions between different grades in different subjects and are looking to try again next week. For those of you Key School teachers out there, the students here are very excited to be selected to speak with the Key School students and would love to prepare some questions for your students. Please contact me if your class would like to participate!
