Kimber

This year it has been amazing to have Kimber Hershberger come to Rwanda with me. She has been a teacher for 30 or so years most recently as a 3rd grade teacher at Radio Park in State College. I worked with her and several classrooms last year and when she retired in 2015 she said she was interested in coming.

Kimber has taught students at Penn State PDS and teachers how to teach science. She has also traveled to South America to teach science and storytelling with PSU Parks and People Program for 5 years. With the water theme this year she brought a whole new level of teaching which our teachers were excited about.

The projects continue with school partnerships but Kimber is bringing many science experiments, art projects, and even a play. It will take several stories to cover what is being done so I will start by showing a few of her in action. She is so expressive and moves alot so photographing her is keeping me busy.

I will explained some of the amazing projects over the next few days.

*How heavy is air?

*Will it sink or float

*Undersea mural

*Reading "Mr. Seahorse", by Eric Carle outside the classroom
