Carol, Lauren and Janet are exhausted from working so hard, well, not really, but some of us have become very good friends with the laminator at Kipp :-) Carol has had a great time with Evangenile, a former CPS teacher who is now teaching second grade at Kipp. Her classroom is remarkable and she has set up her classroom so that learning can really take place. You can tell she wants to celebrate the students' accomplishments. As she said to Janet. "I didn't want to be a teacher - teaching found me".
The atmosphere at Kipp is so positive. We can peek in on teachers working with the little first graders as they do beginning of the year assessments.The kid are adorable. It makes us excited to start our school year.
Part of the excitement for us too is to spend time getting to know the other NLU service team members. Who knew Koke was doing his student teaching in Australia??
And don't ask about the food. We're all so full - Carol and Janet finished off the evening with beignets and we didn't even share.
More when we can find free internet again!
Each summer individuals will travel to help schools prepare for the upcoming school year. The team will share their experiences through this blog. This blog also includes stories of previous trips to various schools in NOLA. Enjoy learning about the wonderful work we do each year with our partner schools.
