Greetings parents and guardians!
Welcome back to school and to an exciting year of learning!
Before I tell you about the great things your child will be doing in kindergarten let me introduce myself to you. My name is Rebecca Walters and I have just finished 2 years training primary school teachers (as well as a variety of other activities) in Niamina Dankunku, way up the south bank, here in the Gambia. Previously I have trained primary school teachers in Namibia, Southern Africa for two years and also taught grade one and grade two in Jamaica. So as you can gather I am a primary School teacher coming from America but moving around to where I am needed.
I am so excited to be the new kindergarten teacher at Banjul American Embassy School. I believe that kindergarten is really where the children develop the foundation for lifelong learning so I am honored to be asked to aid in this development. With hard work and fun times your children will not only learn the foundational skills for reading and writing, their social skills will develop though role play, drama, discussions, every day interactions and much more. We will engage in experiential learning in all areas of the planned out curriculum determined by the life skills and educational concepts needed to aid in the proper development and growth of your individual child. Your child's understanding of how they fit into this diverse world of life and how the systems surrounding them work together as well as work apart will also grow. That is just the beginning!
I look forward collaborating with you to create a basis for a productive and meaningful learning future for your child. We will work hard and play hard!
Thank you for your support,
Miss Rebecca Walters

"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate." "Why then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?" Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery." The disciples said to him, "If this is the situation between a husba...
