School Lead Educator

<h2>Improving With Vectors</h2><p>Jepchirchir Cate is a Grade 3 student in Zawadi. Today being her second week working with Vectors, we decided that we are not going to draw shapes any more. Grade 3 were already used to drawing shapes. Cate said that today she wanted to make something different, to write her name on it and also include the name of her school.</p><h2>School Pride</h2><p>She drew boxes coloured with different colours, made something like a star in the middle. First, when writing her name and the school name, she didnt know how to write capital letters. She was complaining that the words were in small letters and she wanted in capital letters. I had to show her how it is done. She was very happy with her own work.</p>

Grade 3 Student in Zawadi Yetu Academy Learned to Type Uppercase Letters through Specialty Vector Design Project

<p>A grade 3 student in Zawadi, named Jepchirchir Cate, learned how to type uppercase letters today in order to create her design project. I challenged her to make something more than just shapes and labels, so she created a school pride design.</p>
