Teacher Workshops


As always, when there is a lot to write about, there is no time to write! 
The Canadian Teachers arrived Friday and we spent a nice weekend together.  Saturday we drove out to the metal smith village to check out the iron-work and then up to Petionville to buy a few souvenirs.  Sunday we worshipped at First Presbyterian Church and drove around downtown.  Having been to Haiti before the earthquake, they are able to discern the difference between pre- and post-quake sights. Despite a heavy rainfall all afternoon, there was a group of guys who were very eager to play some basketball with the teachers and therefore played for two hours in the rain.  It was a bit more like water polo than basketball but they had fun. 
The workshops are going very well.  The teachers came with more ideas than could possibly fit into four days so they are whittling down their ideas and cramming as much as possible into each lesson.  The teachers have learned a lot about math manipulatives , played a lot of great fitness games and even got a chance to work with clay.  The time has flown by so far and it’s hard to believe there is only one day left!
