The Joys of Pre-packing

No procrastinators here: drawing 1st night in Budapest for Starbucks card will include:
Kathy, Dennis, Ellen, Joyce J, and Phil.....congratulations to you all for a job well done! (and I see Kathy also recycles dry cleaning bags to line her suitcase as I do!).

Goodwill Ambassadors Visit Budapest School

I have now confirmation from the primary school in Budapest our group can visit.
PLEASE pack a book! 

I asked if we could bring books, and they advised it would be great if we could bring as a donation some of the below:

-        BOOKS PUBLISHED  for the students between age 6-14 - history books, mathematics books, geography books, natural science books (this is a bilingual school where the pupil – as a second language - study English)

-        Story books for SHARED READING, for the students between age of 6-10

The shared reading model often uses oversized books (referred to as big books) with enlarged print and illustrations. As the teacher reads the book aloud, all of the children who are being read to can see and appreciate the print and illustrations. 

-        Task booklets with the topics about nature, animals of the forests etc.

-        Riddles in English

-        Grammar books for the students between age of 6-10

-        Fairy tale books with 3D illustrations for 6-7 year old children

The visit is on 14 May between 09:00-11:00.This is a day of leisure for us, and a great way to start the day after breakfast.

Choir of the school will welcome the guests. They will sing songs in English and in Hungarian and then the guests can visit any lessons (mathematics, geography…)and can do a school tour as well.

This sounds like it will be a GREAT visit!
