Rincon Rotary creates a Thinking Classroom Community at Tanque Verde Elementary School

Anne Marie Karel at Tanque Verde Elementary School wanted to build an interactive classroom using wipebooks to aide in group learning. The use of the wipe books allows students to use their creativity and reasoning skills to develop a deeper understanding of academic material. The Rincon Rotary loves to faciliate the sharing of ideas and community learning and helped Ms Karel with her request.

The Rincon Rotary's support is part of its Rotary LOCAL program, whose mission is to help improve the local community through educational outreach. Rotary LOCAL can provide manpower, resources from local business partners, or in some cases, direct financial support to teachers who apply for assistance. Rotary LOCAL is funded in part by our annual Taste of Chocolate event, a great way to sample local sweets and help teachers at the same time.
