Our day started with Jake and Ike teaching more about integrated curriculum and observing model lesson plans by various teachers. We have four more lessons to observe and then every teacher will have done a model lesson for the group. The teachers also enjoyed the discussion on community building in the classroom. We're slowly wrapping up the loose ends and are getting ready for tomorrow's graduation ceremonies.
After tea break in the afternoon we handed out our Jesus Storybook Bibles to each teacher. The look on their faces was priceless! Then our laminated maps were distributed and again their faces showed such delight! We brought assorted items like playing cards, children's picture books, a knitted scarf from my Mom, crayons etc. ankle socks, stickers etc. Each teacher had a number and could choose 2 items. It felt like Christmas:)!
Jake introduced the wooden triangle with pegs as a challenge to the teachers to try to solve the puzzle of having only one peg left. He asked a woodworker at CH if each teacher could have one of their own. After the Bibles and the maps, each teacher was given his/her own to take home! We were so blessed that CH made them and they looked beautiful! Now the challenge will be for our teachers to find or make pegs-it will be interesting to see how ingenious they will be!

Had trouble with the last comment but I am sure that it makes some sense. I was Typing away and it just quit, froze, or so,e frustrating thing like that. Anyway what great and perfect gifts you gave to the students. Is that the Bible story book that everyone is talking about lately, the Bible in 31 episodes. Have a safe trip back and unwind in France. Enjoy a. Ugh deserved rest!
