I know I was excited to visit, and they seemed very excited to see us, too, and put on an entire program for us, with a presentation from each grade. Then they made me make
a speech (which I was not too thrilled about), and I cried. My dad made me cry. In front of a whole school. Hmph.
Afterwards, we went to see their makeshift library in the principal's office. The books are kept in the office, and the teachers say that the most popular reading time is around 1:00 pm, right after lunch. They call it the "reading rush."
We visited all of the classrooms, where we were able to see the TVs and DVD players that they were able to purchase because of the money someone donated.
The teachers asked that we send more beginner books (like BOB books, or simple Doctor Seuss books) because the younger grades are still in the early stages of learning to read.
If you would like to help, even a small donation can help. $3.50 can buy a book and cover the shipping cost for it. Please contact me if you are interested.
Thank you again for all of your support!
