July 11

Today was the last day of the project for 2 of the classes. We ended the classes 30 min early today to have a small closing ceremony. We gave the students a certificate for participating and we had a small meal to celebrate the successful end to the program.

The Tues, Thurs morning class

The Tues, Thurs afternoon class

 We have 3 more classes to wrap up and each gets their own little closing ceremony 2 tomorrow and 1 on Saturday. The students seem to have learned much from the program and can use the website by themselves pretty much. We the tutors fell into more of an aid role by these last days of the program. The students have also started asking each other for help and figuring hard concepts out in groups.

We also passed around some books for the students to put their comments in. Most of the students were happy with the program. The favorite teacher by default for the morning classes was Ariel. Many of the students have said that this program helped them. We have also talked to some of the parents one of the mothers was present for the closing and said, "My son is talking he is usually so shy." She also asked us for all the login information so that they could carry on using the program at home.
