First of all.....fantastic news....Sharon finally got her suitcase after four days, and we hardly recognize her in her new wardrobe! The kids were ecstatic about the new books for mini-libraries in three schools, and computers in four schools. We were able to spend a little time with the kids as they explored these new experiences. Great fun!
Lee and Bev did a workshop and presentation with teachers from the four schools the Rotary grant has impacted with the libraries and computer labs of 5-12 computers. The teachers were so excited to receive information on how to use the new books, how to preserve them, and also had ideas to share with us. Since they are not yet connected to internet, we were able to show them some ideas they can use to teach literacy skills and motivate the kids, without internet. Some had little previous experience....all were very enthusiastic about the new teaching tools.
Lee felt like rock star on stage at some of the schools! Their enthusiasm for the new books was both refreshing and humbling.
Sharon helping kids using the computers for the first time. The parents are also very interested in all going on!
