Cyrus and Bella Speak to Students of Carlos Gilbert

September 18th, 2008 by Jason

On Monday, September 14th, Cyrus and Bella visited each of the classrooms of their school, Carlos Gilbert Elementary. They explained their trip and invited students to follow along on the website. Students asked thoughtful and interesting questions. One student’s question will make us pay close attention and capture photographs of the clothing that people wear on special occasions/holidays.

 Although internet access is currently limited at the Alameda campus, many students said that they would check out the website from home. Several teachers said that they would definitely have their classes use the website as soon as the computer lab is up and running. We can’t wait to hear from them.

I videotaped some of the presentations, and Cyrus made a video of the experience. Cyrus suggested that we also put the video on the “Students” page -so we will.

I’m eager to be off – we leave Santa Fe in two days!

Keep in touch,

Jason

    The video posted seems to be restricted – it says i need to have permissino to watch even though I’m logged in to comment. I thought you’d like to know this so you could work it out before leaving on your trip.

    Hi there Kirkmans! It was so interesting to check out your site. We (Susan and Max) watched all of the videos you’ve posted. Doug and Sam will need to watch when they are home. Cyrus, you explained your trip so well, and it was great to see your house too. We are excited to track your progress and will log back in often. Hope you are enjoying Lima.
