Louisa in US

Louisa will be in the US visiting schools to learn about creative ways to teach and other methodology. She will be observing, participating in classroom activities and speaking to groups.

Here are some of the activities planned for Louisa's schedule in State College:

Thursday I will pick Louisa up in Bethlehem, PA. and we will try to be back in time for the lighting of the Christmas Tree downtown.

Friday 8:30-12:00 we will tour and attend preschool classes at the new PSU Child Development Center. Observation will be key as well as time to interact with the children.

1:45-2:45 we will visit the new Discovery Space of Central PA to learn about science exhibits and activities for preschoolers.

Saturday morning Louisa will join my running/walking group followed by our usual breakfast at the Waffle Shop. We hope for sunny weather.

11-12:00 we will participate in Schlow Library's "Saturday Stories Alive" featuring a story and crafts for young children.

2-3:00 Millbrook Marsh Nature Center has a Family Fun Hike so we will again put on our walking shoes.

Later a preschool teacher friend will share her love of teaching the arts. We will also discuss another teacher's amazing project that creates a specific activity a month to build a book about a child's year in school. It is then presented to the child at year end.

Perhaps at night we will fit in a PSU women's volleyball game or a taste of music with friends.

Sunday Louisa will be worshipping at St. Paul's United Methodist Church on College Ave. She will be available for questions after the 9:15 service during coffee hour as well as after the 11:45 service. Louisa will participate in the Children's Message at the 11:45 service. Please join us for worship and spending time meeting Louisa.

Thank you for helping to bring Louisa back to the US to see all we are so fortunate to have to educate our children.

The photos are of Louisa talking with the parents and guardians of the children at the closing of the school term. Others show her in the classroom with the kids at Cyakabiri Preschool. She is so passionate about teaching and loves these children she has in her care each day!
