I left Wednesday afternoon for a meeting in Regina. I volunteer with SCIC (Saskatchewan Council for International Cooperation) to work on an e-zine project, Worldbeat where we review sites for global education. We not only create the e-zine but connect the web sites with relevant Saskatchewan curriculum objectives. I like this volunteer work because we meet for half a day and then the work is over... no responsibilities until the next time we meet. And... I think we create a worthwhile product that can be used by teachers anywhere. This time we were reviewing web sites that provided lesson plans and activities about diseases in developing countries, e.g. HIV/AIDS and malaria.
After the meeting I drove to Swift Current and had a wonderful visit with Zane, Pam and Carter in their new home.
Carter was exceptionally charming and loved the dinosaur puzzle that I brought him.
Although I must admit it was a little difficult to put together with him sitting on the pieces!
Carter loves the computer, playing with his toys - especially his dinosaurs (amazingly he can remember and pronounce all those difficult names. He also is really into the Cars phenomena and we spent a few tense minutes looking for Bruce (under the love seat!).
And, of course, he loves his books and there is nothing Auntie Donna loves more than reading with her nieces and nephews!
It was a wonderful visit and I look forward to the next one.
