The international day at WAB has always been a day to remember. This year I had 2 groups of Gr.1 students. I told them a Congolese tale and I taught them a simple game I played when I was a kid. They got into the game and surprisingly, they kept playing the game days after the International Day. Click on the picture on the left to see a short video taken as they were playing the game. Kids are saying “Moja, Mbili, Tatu.” That’s “One, Two, Three” in Swahili. We were counting in Swahili as we were playing the game. Ms Bond who spent sometime in Tanzania (where they also speak swahili) remembered the game and helped out with the first group of kids.
Grade one students are having a great time using iPads for the learning activities. It’s the first project they have using the iPads. 1P went around the school taking pictures of things related to water. 1B stayed in their room and take pictures of shapes. They were all excited doing this activities. They were really proud of themselves when they were sharing those pictures with the class. Now they are waiting to use those pictures on a Keynote document.
Pictures are really to be used. They are on the media server that’s easy to access. It looks like iPads will make a difference in students’ learning.
Gr 4 students have their individual laptops. They agreed to use WordPress to create their blogs. I’m guiding them through the process and I’m confident they’ll very independent very soon. Here’s a photo of the “instruction time”. Everybody put your lid down and listen.
