Tuesday with Tuvol

Hello!
Welcome Back to a new Tuesday With Tuvol

On Saterday 8th 2010 the Museum's Children Club will be going snorkaling at the Grand Turk Cruise Center and on Bio Rock. All of the children are saying that they can't wait and trust me, I can't wait myself. After we are finished we will have lunch at the museum. It was one of the best days I had at the museum last year and I'm looking forward to this year too.


Thank You From
Tuesday with Tuvol.

Wednesday with Eliza Simon Primary School

Growing up on these beautiful-by-nature Islands made me realise that I had a dream, and that dream was to become a teacher... and so it happen. These months are my final months in college in completion of my associate degree in Primary Education.

On Wednesday, however, the museum offered another chance for me to confirming this desire of being a teacher. I spent almost two hours talking and explaining what is in the Museum to the third graders of Eliza Simon primary school, and I felt that I could have gone on and on talking and explaining until they understood what the Turks and Caicos National Museum is all about. The students were very calm and collected when I was speaking and through their eyes I could see that they did not want to leave the Museum.

I had a lovely and precious time with these children and I am very excited about my career path.

Finesse

Jessica made me look up the definition of finesse. Her soccer coach back in the states always made her practice it and now she's passing it down.

Finesse is delicacy in handling situations. I'm working on this. I handle computers carefully and I use finesse when I cut onions for cooking. Now I know what it's called.

Having a Birthday

My name is Kenlove Taus. Today is my birthday.

What a place to have a birthday. This morning I walked to the museum. I love the museum. The museum published my poems in a magazine. To my amazement, when I went to school or walk down the street people congratulated me on my poetry.

The museum helped me to develop my poetry and my writing skills. Today, when I told everyone it was my birthday they went to the bakery and bought breakfast rolls and everyone sat in the front of the museum. The staff wanted me to write a poem right then. I asked for paper, composed a few lines of verse, and read them to everyone.

Everyone clapped. I told the director that this was not a party.

But it is the only party I will get today.

Tuesday's with Tuvol

Children club on March Saturday the 27th the Turks and Caicos Islands National Museum held the first anual Drama Club that will be every Saturday in the mounth of March. The children had time to get to know everyone and to feel confertable with each other. We played a food game were we set in a group and everyone has a chance to call out a food and whatever the name of the food ends with the next person names a food with that letter.

I liked the role playing games. We had to act at each other. The first one was that we had to pretend that we hadn't seen someone for a long time. The other one was that we had to pretend to win the lottery. I really liked that one.

I can't wait for next week!

Charismatic by Tuvol Higgs

A lady on a tour called me charismatic the other day. It means that I'm open and not shy of people. In other words: I'm confident.

Go me.

Jessica said I had to write a blog about it because I was so proud to get the title. It made me feel good to know I'm a good team with the museum staff. I'm going to never let Jessica forget that the lady said that.

Archaeology?

On Saturday we held a Children's Club archaeological program. This was suppose to be a day when we went out to the Lucayan site GT4, where the museum completed an archaeological survey last week.

Unfortunately, it rained all day. A few kids showed up anyway. Rory, on his last day at the museum, talked to them about his experience doing archaeology with the museum and showed several of the artifacts recovered. Aliatte arranged an afternoon of crafts and the children had a great time staying out of the rain.
