We are still looking for $1500 in donations to purchase three more computers. The new school year began the second week of January, and the fifth and sixth grade students attend classes two days a week. The remaining day is for the teachers. Last year the teachers began to become comfortable on Excel. The students and teachers have a program "Acquiring the Habit of Reading." Cajolá's illiteracy rate is more than 50% among adults, and books in the home are still unusual. This program requires reading a specific amount each day, recording how much has been read, and the time. The teachers record the information. Before they could work with Excel and the computer, they handwrote the statistics and submitted them via phone photos. This was exceedingly cumbersome.
The teachers have learned to use Excel in the Computer lab on the computers purchased in this project, Now they submit the data on excel worksheets, and analyzing and calculating the progress is simple.
Importantly, the new computers are a resource for the teachers when they are planning classroom activities. A win win all around
Next report we can give you a look at the progress the grade schoolers are doing!
