Now the bad news, Motheread is a closed program. Meaning, they had trained a team of people to go out and help families and adults read. The last of its sessions are being held at Iron Wood on Mondays and Wednesdays 6pm-9pm. They don't have people just volunteering, they do encourage us to go participate, but we would not be there to help. If Dr Rivera is okay with us going and participating then you are welcome to just drop in.
Anyone interested in the Picturing American Picturing Guam, let me know and I will forward the contact information of the program coordinators.
Let me know
Jess,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update! I approve each of the events to meet the professional development activity requirement. Ensure that you prepare a reflection for the event that you participate in. It would be a good idea to also take photos to post on our blog, so that we can get a picture of your experience. Of course, you'll have to provide a caption for the pictures.
Arlene also mentioned a poetry reading event. If you wish to create your own poetry activity/poetry slam, then that's another option. If you engage in this, then you'll also have to provide a reflection on the logistics and how this event strengthens your professional development. There's no doubt that this will improve literacy and creativity on island!
Good luck as you explore the different professional development literacy opportunities! Keep me posted.
Best regards,
Dr. Rivera
Excellent, I hope anyone that wants to try this will go, there's a Motheread event this friday at 6pm at Iron Wood Estates.
ReplyDeleteIron Wood Estates? Is that in Yigo? Could anyone give me directions? I'll bring a camera. Anyone else willing to go to this?
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an excellent opportunity! I would like to join you this Friday. However, I am in the same boat as Randall B.
