The last... melon

Well, actually I'm not living in Ice Age with Dodo birds, but we did finish the last of a long line of Congresos this weekend. About 25 teachers showed at this Congreso and learned and learned from 2 to 9 on Friday and from 9am to 3 on Saturday. With the traveling Kristi, Tani, and I had long days, but we had lots of fun. Kristi teaches those congresos really well. The teachers learned a lot and had a great time going from one thing to the next. We passed out binders and congreso manuals as well as a laminated version of a flanelgraph to each person. The "flanelgraph" set included a couple large backgrounds with a couple minor changes, lots and lots of people, animals, inanimate objects such as a table and food, trees, and everything. These all were stuffed onto four 2-3 foot huge sheets (my own estimation, and most likely to be technically incorrect) that the teachers had to cut the pieces from. All that's required to attach the pieces to the background is tape. Even Tani and I get our own sets. I can already picture using my set during the Sunday School class back at home. At the congreso all the teachers had a great time learning and gaining more vision for how to teach their classes.
