||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mr. Reggie Cyr’s grade 4 laptop class at L.E. Reinsborough School in Dalhousie is involved in a number of international projects. With the aid of Angela Young, Technology Mentor of School District 15, they are presently collaborating with schools in Russia, Belarus, Mexico, United States, Iran, schools across Canada and Israel. Recently the students participated in an on-line, live conference with Marsha Goren, founder of the Globaldreamers.org website (http://www.globaldreamers.org) and winner of numerous international awards. Superintendent of School District 15, Mr. John McLaughlin; Principal of LER, Mr. Guy Arseneault; Vice Principal of LER, Ms. Cynthia Harquail; and Technology Mentor, Ms. Angela Young were all on hand to witness the communication and watch as items from packages sent from the students’ Israeli international friends were revealed. Mr. Richard Firth and his daughter Michaela, who follow Judaic teachings, had the honor of opening the packages which contained items relating to Purim, the Jewish version of Halloween. written by Angela Young A large screen was set up and Reggie and Marsha skyped live while the children opened the two beautiful packages from Israel. Children and the adults could ask me about the various items that were sent by her class from Israel. I explained the holiday and the symbols of the mask, the evil Haman and the lame foolish King Ahashverosh. It was so exciting for me. One guest attending the lesson told me how important this work is and how Globaldreamers has influenced Reggie and his class tremendously. Let the fun begin!! Look at the beautiful Purim boxes and all the goodies on the tables. Queen Ester the heroine of our story saved the Jewish people by approaching the king and revealing her true identity and that she was Jewish. We wear masks in honor of concealing our identities by masquerading! written by Marsha Goren
