In_service In The Rain Forest Setting

We spent today (Friday) in the most beautiful in-service room I have ever been in. In some of the pictures you can see the forest in the background. Of course, beyond the immediate forest was range after range of mountains. The setting is a large open room (roof only) on the second floor of the high school building. A cool breeze and 75 degrees sort of topped things off.



The in=service was about math manipulative's and the Montessori system of education for lower primary. It was well done by a lady from some education organization in Quito. We were joined by the staff of another small Christian school from Shell (about five miles away).


For those readers who are educators and have sat through some long in-service meetings, the setting can change everything. Now if my Spanish were up to speed, it would have been an excellent day.
MJ bugged out and prepared for classes on Monday as she has to teach by herself.

Hey,

You need to work on your picture taking again. Make sure you press the button half way down, get a lock ( the camera will beep ) and then press the rest of the way for the picture. :-)

I've never attended an inservice in such a beautiful place! I'd like to try it sometime.
