Shelby in St. Vincent: March 2010
http://shelbykathryn.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Shelby in St. Vincent. Thursday, March 11, 2010. I was asked to prepare my music students to play a couple of songs at their Primary School Spelling Bee, which was today. Most of my students forgot their recorders or to practice, but the four that were ready played "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," and "Ode to Joy," and sounded magnificent! I don't remember learning that stuff in sixth grade! I was sitting with the fifth graders and during the first round, the girl next to me kept saying, "These are easy words!

Shelby in St. Vincent: July 2009
http://shelbykathryn.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Shelby in St. Vincent. Saturday, July 25, 2009. I'm pretty sure that's their favorite part, perhaps because they get to make a lot of noise? It's really a lot of fun, and I hope this is something I can carry into the next school year. I also hope to incorporate everything we learn into an end-of-camp concert. I think that would be fun for everyone - kids, teachers and parents. And sad (the older volunteers are leaving) and strange (I will have been here for a year!

Shelby in St. Vincent: Term 2
http://shelbykathryn.blogspot.com/2010/01/term-2.html
Shelby in St. Vincent. Thursday, January 21, 2010. On a unrelated note, I just finished a book that I'd like to recommend, The Dogs of Babel. By Carolyn Parkhurst. It's a really beautiful, original and truly haunting love story. It's a quick read, too - I finished it in about a day, although that might be because I couldn't put it down! If you're looking for a new book, I definately suggest this one! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). St Vincent and Grenadines. View my complete profile. 17 When You Are ...

Shelby in St. Vincent: December 2008
http://shelbykathryn.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Shelby in St. Vincent. Wednesday, December 24, 2008. 9 Mornings Update and Holiday Cookies. All in all, I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw of 9 Mornings. I'm glad that I was able to experience this entirely Vincentian tradition and I hope to power through at least 4 or 5 mornings next Christmas. I'm posting the few pictures I have. Callalou is a soup made from dasheen leaves (called callalou), coconut milk, potatoes (or other starch) and some kind of meat. Thursday, December 11, 2008. An mammy in s...

Shelby in St. Vincent: Family Learning Program
http://shelbykathryn.blogspot.com/2010/03/family-learning-program.html
Shelby in St. Vincent. Thursday, March 11, 2010. It's March and my New Year's Resolution of blogging more is already shot. I guess that's why I rarely make New Year's Resolutions. Anyway, to make up for my poor resolve, I'm going to make a few short posts about what I've been up to lately. I'll be working with our school counselor and our literacy coordinator to come up with a proposal. We're in the very beginning stages, but I'll try to keep you posted. Especially if we get a grant! I recently graduated...

http://shelbykathryn.blogspot.com/2010/01/holidaysnew-year.html
Shelby in St. Vincent. Saturday, January 2, 2010. Sorry it's been a while. My life starts to feel so normal here that I don't register change as much. I forget not everyone lives on a Caribbean island. Fortunately, one of my New Year's Resolutions is to update more often. And take more pictures. Happy New Year! Let me backtrack a bit. In December, another Peace Corps volunteer, a local volunteer and I took 5 Vincentian students (aged 10 - 17)to a running event in Barbados, Run Barbados (clever name)!
