Reaching SIM to Resnang

For second round of visit to village led by Principal, this time was to Resnang, for reaching the copies of SIM to students.

Afternoon journey by a pickup bolero in a slippery and muddy road of Anim Gonpa and Gayzoor wasn't a safe travel for the team.

However, making to the Resnang lhakhang and seeing the gathered faces of five students made a good day for us.

After taking an attendence, Principal handed over the SIM( printed version and original copies) to students.

Principal sir asked Pema Wangmo whether she likes to join school or not, she said that she was very eager to rejoin the school if it starts earlier.

Venue: Community Lhakhang

Having asked for the learning progress at home, most of them said that they are not able to learn effectively like School but Principal sir informed well of the situation and asked to learn collaboratively by sharing the materials among classmates if it is inadequate. 

After asking few questions, I briefed on the assessments records and tools.

Principal sir encouraged all of them to keep the records of the activities completed from  SIM and ask to report to concern subject teachers and class teachers postively in a wechat group.

After a group snapshot, we shared a chewing gum as a gesture of love for students and headed back to School.
