Patschke Makes Presentations!

 Dr. Patschke had many opportunities to speak with different
groups of children and adults! 

Everyone wanted to know about the United States,
our educational system, and especially about the
 children, families, and staff of the Spring-Ford Area School District! 

Dr. Patschke especially enjoyed sharing information about
all the kindness, learning, and healthy choices made by
the students at Upper Providence Elementary School!

 
Many school principals from the Jesus Maria area and beyond enjoyed
a discussion about teaching, learning and living in the USA.

 
After the presentation, delicious food was shared! 
Gloria the Zanahoria (carrot) and Broccoli Bob found healthy choices!!

 
Dr. Patschke took time to speak with all the students at
General Francisco Ortiz de Ocampo!
Patricia Holvoet translated for all of the assemblies!
 
 
Dr. Patschke was able to teach the children of
Ocampo some "Brain Breaks!"




The students enjoyed moving and laughing!
They were a great audience!
 
The students had some AWESOME questions about
UPES, our students, and our country!


 
Finally, Dr. Patschke was able to work with the teachers
and staff at Ortiz de Ocampo!
We talked about ways to engage students in learning!
The teachers in Argentina LOVE their jobs and their students!
We also talked about how important it is
for adults to model the enjoyment of "reading!"
....in our homes, schools, and communities!
 
Maybe Ocampo will host a reading incentive this school year!

 
 

What will we learn about next?
You'll find out soon!
Check back often and stay connected!
