Learning from others
One fine day, April 30th, students from Simono Dacho progymnasium came to our school. Our children presented them learning tools, which were created for the Erasmus+ project and which can be used in different ways. Guests were inspired and got new ideas how to create their own learning tools to learn English language in a different way. They left with a smile and very good ideas for their own way of learning.
Project lessons
Students, who participated in Erasmus+ LD5 international teaching learning mobility in Romania, shared their gained experience by conducting lessons to 5a, 5d, and 7e class pupils. During these lessons, 5th and 7th grade students not only were acquainted with mobility activities, but also tested one method and two IT programs themselves. The lessons were really colorful: Students created interesting stories, tested their knowledge of Lithuanian language. What is more - the young teachers gained a very interesting and useful experience.
PROJECT FAIR 2019
National educational institutions “Project Fair 2019” was held in Gedminai progymnasium on 19th February. The fair was really fruitful – there were 97 projects presented. Students, teachers and various education related individuals from educational institutions creatively presented school, national, international (Erasmus+, eTwinning, Nordplus) project activities enriching school life and the whole process of education. Participants innovatively showed their designed products, demonstrated how they are continuing their project activities which have already ended. All the participants shared joyful mood, got new ideas, teachers and students discussed the success of the project, the impact on the institution community, funds, programs and partner search as well as project application and the whole project implementation.
