This year we have 17 new prep (kinder) students. They are very excited to be STA students!

Hi, my name is Kate and for the past five weeks I have been visiting my wonderful friend ‘Madam Lauren’ here in Tanzania and helping her out at Steven Tito Academy (STA). Last week the students returned to school and I finally got to meet Salim, the STA student I sponsor! He is a really outgoing, friendly and intelligent kid and it has been wonderful getting to know him.

In the last week of school we put on a school play. We also celebrated student successes by presenting awards to the top achieving students.

We have tried to grow lots of different vegetables at school. One day Asha and Maimuna brought some kunde (cowpeas) to school. We planted them and they grew really quickly.

It is important to learn about money so that we can buy and sell things and learn to save and budget. In Maths, we have been learning about money. 

This week we would like to write about our sponsors. Our sponsors pay our school fees. Without sponsors we would not be able to come to STA and learn every day.

In Science, we have been learning about the sun. Not only does the sun help the plants in our garden grow but it can give us power!

At STA, we have been working hard to grow vegetables in our Shapes Garden.

Today our American volunteer teachers Justin and Alisha taught us all about Halloween and how it is celebrated in the States.

What better way is there to learn about adjectives than by wearing wigs!
