New step in the library

Class 8 in Bulanda school lent a book

A great experience : For the first time EDU'KENYA let one entire class in Busia, borrowed a book for one month. That was a serie of 20 books given by a class from a french school, Fénelon Sainte-Marie, from Adeline english teacher class level 3. Esther Ajambo librarian in the mobile library gave us a feed back : ""The Umbrella man" is the tittle of the novel, that comprises of several stories. Specifically when i asked the pupils (see them on the pictures) which ones they liked most this is what they had to say : We (majority) liked the Butler, persons pleasure, The land lady, Man from the south, The umbrella man etc etc respectively. But due take homes/assignments some did not complete reading- They said they read this book when they are at home and during their other free time and they opted to read this particular book to make sure they complete! Therefore, they did enjoy".HUNGERRA, BRAVO, GREAT

Pour la première fois, une classe de Busia de niveau 3ème a pu emprunter une série de livres identiques en anglais bien sûr, donnés par la classe d'Adeline, professeur d'anglais à Fénelon Sainte-Marie. C'est une série de nouvelles de Roald Dahl. Si les élèves ont trouvé le vocabulaire un peu difficile et si certains n'ont pas eu le temps de terminer, ils ont été enchantés de l'expérience. A renouveler!
