Further to our July 24 2008 invitation to this conference in Kuala Lumpur, and your response, I want to let you know that due to a number of invitees having a conflict of dates and business priorities, we have decided to postpone our meeting until 2009.
We thank you for your response, and are very sorry to cause inconvenience by this rescheduling. We will be in touch in the new year to let you know our plans as they are put in place and look forward to your participation.
Thank you so much for your outstanding support for our KidSmart program in the Philippines. I personally look forward to continuing our work and collaboration to further expand and enhance the KidSmart Early Program in 2009.
Yours truly,

IMAGINE, LGU SUPPORTS KIDSMART EARLY LEARNING PROGRAM
From day one when correspondence starts to run to unknown person from IBM Philippines and the FAMCOHSEF our local partner organization, the Local Government Unit of the Municipality of Baao, Baao, Camarines Sur under the stewardship of our beloved Mayor Hon. QUIRINO G. BONGCAYAO JR. did extend their commitment to contribute something to upgrade the educational system in our town.
Comes the schedule training of teachers last summer of 2007, the Local Chief Executive made available the resources needed to make thing possible for Baao Central School. From renovating the IBM kidsmart room to training of selected teachers and until the actual implementation of the program.
Our beloved Mayor always find time to be with us in every affair that needs his presence. Even in the parents orientation, he was around to know all the details on what will be the role of the Parents and the LGU in the program implementation. He provided wonderful inputs so that programs will be implemented smoothly.
He frequently visited the school just to inquire what can still the LGU provide even with his very hectic schedule. This wonderful gesture of our beloved mayor provide strong signal that he whole heartedly supports the IBM kidsmart program.
This also serves as the inspiration of our school staff to do their best to successfully implement the program. Our partner organization the FAMCOHSEF supported us by actual visit of their representative together with the Hongkong volunteer students.
With the vibrant signal from the LGU as our fairygodfather, the parents and the Public School District Supervisor, we are assured of a successful program implementation in the coming years.

Thank you!
Olongapo City Elementary School is indeed very lucky because you chose us to be a recipient of IBM Kidsmart Program.
You're program has helped Kinder to Grade Three pupils learn more because of the varied activities in the CBL Lesson Plan and the approach in developing the multiple intelligences of our pupils.
You have inspired teachers to be more creative with the activities they will use in the classroom. It also strengthen their camaraderie and has helped their professional growth.
Thank you very much for your benevolence!

A comment from the old blog
Just this afternoon I checked the old blogsite and found a comment from Ms. Genalyn G. Acosta of El Nido Central School, El Nido, Palawan. I am posting her comment here but if you wish to see her comment with pictures click here.
Here it goes:
Hi!I'm Genalyn g. Acosta of El Nido Central School, a grade two teacher.Thanks so much for the IBM Kidsmart Early Learning Program.As teacher it is a big help to me in teaching.Because there are so many ideas and strategies in teaching can get in the lessons found in Kidsmart Computer lesson.For the pupils they were so very excited if we have schedule in kidsmart computer lesson.They will always want to stay in the computer room.They will always discuss the topic they learned with their classmates inside the classroom.Even they were not in the Kidsmart computer lesson.Before' we have our classroom discussion with the different subject areas by questioning and answering inside the classroom.Using chalkboard and chalk, pencil and paper,books and other materials/visual aids.But when we have already the Educational Technology it's easier to us to teach and explain to the pupils the topics to be discuss. I have 55 pupils and it's not easy to explained them using my mouth as teacher.But through the help of this KIDSMART project' it's lesser to mo to talk more.Pupils enjoy manipulating the computer and at the same time they want always to repeat and repeat the lesson found in kidsmart.Like for example in making a story. They always recite it in the classroom even they were not in the computer room.Then they can make a simple story with the guide of the lessons they learned in the kidsmart computer lesson.In my class in grade two, I apply this for ones a week every friday.Because we have also a lessons to be follow in DepEd subjects.First,I discuss in our classroom.Then before going out, I set first rules to follow to avoid noise and pupils must behave.Divide the class into 5 groups.Every group have their respective works.The group will rotate to different centers after they finish they will go to another center.Then class will be group again as one.Have assignment given by the teacher.
