Discovering a superpower

And Finally, shelves got fitted. Roger did a great job and I love how they turned out. I got so excited I moved furniture around by myself... by myself! I am actually just discovering I might have some sort of superhuman capabilities which I just need a little motivation to activate. 

I have been extremely anxious to put the whole setup together and I couldn't wait. After a broken toenail and a few bruises, I transformed my idea from concept to tangible...I didn't regret it.
   

Over my years of working with people with hearing impairment or other forms of learning disabilities, I have realized the essence of visual or auditory stimulation in the teaching and learning process. Even with most mainstream kids, the best methods of teaching and learning always involve application of visual aid to boost retention.


 
I put together a multipurpose area where kids can have lessons which involve their visual and auditory senses. This could also serve as a movie corner and a games center. It is an adjustable space which will have seating for about 15 children when adjusted. 
 The visual corner has a flat-screen tv, a laptop with some games and videos, a projector and a bluetooth connection device for sound.
 

I also created an area for a digital library. This will serve as a space for all learning from the vast learning resources on the internet. It will also be a good space to teach ict skills and safe internet usage to our kids.

This learning area will have 10 laptops connected to an internet source and shelves stocked with books in all areas for reading. Hopefully someone is moved by my constant appeal for donations so I can acquire books and laptops for this center. Fingers crossed.

The successful execution of  the next phase of this project solely depends on how well I am able to apply my elementary school lessons on agriculture in setting up a garden. I will be working on creating a reading area outside for the kids.  For that space, I imagine a comfortable little garden where these kids can sit and read with their friends. 
Wish me luck.
