Attendance Sheet

Build Party playlist to add to (optional)

• Objectives

  1. Celebrate the participants accomplishments, and acknowledge parents commitment to the program

  2. Tour prep (identify student interest in giving tours)

  3. Award ceremony!

  4. Evaluation of program via interviews and a form to fill out.

• You will need

  • A screen to have a running slideshow of photos

  • Printouts of evaluation form

  • We usually light a small lamp (floating candles in a nice basin, or traditional oil lamp) at the entrance, and teachers and students are invited to light a lamp. That is a Nagaswatte tradition but I’m wondering if there is a SAT tradition that signifies an important moment..

• Class setup

  Tables all moved to the edge of the classroom in single file, to leave a large blank space in the middle, with prototypes scattered around. Cozy corner stays as is.
