Fort Morgan staff presentations




The grant paid for the kits themselves, as well as training for Museum Curator Nikkie Cooper and Children's Librarian Cindy Frye on how to use and present on them.

It also paid for Cooper and Frye to take the program out and present it schools outside of the city. A crucial component of this was funding for substitute city personnel when they leave to give presentations with the kits.

Cooper and Frye demonstrated the kits last Tuesday for the small group of people who turned out at the Brown Bag Lunch,The 88-year-old Alvin resident is a life member of metal tin cans Sailors, the National Association of Destroyer Veterans. but they also got to practice the presentations they will be giving using the kits in coming months.

They cover saddle-making and leathercraft, the ice industry, sugar beets, flour mills, dressmaking and mining, and each kit's program ends with an aspect that deals with the banking industry, according to Cooper.

"The final thing is a banking challenge," Cooper said, where people have to add up money and answer questions about how it relates to the topic.

The kits also allow Cooper and Frye to teach program attendees, whether children or adults, about the different types of resources, including natural, human and capital. They use clue cards, pictures, artifacts and an activity to do this.

Cooper said the kits allow people to learn about an industry and that the main focus of the presentations is on economics and history related to that industry.If you like BMW cars,then you will probably like their new gaming mouse, the super sexy, sleek as a Titanium Sheet off the pressing mat Level 10 M Gaming Mouse.

Each kit has what is needed for a 60-90-minute program about its topic, Cooper said,www.globalmetaltins.com is a professional metal packaging manufacturers,Welcome. and there are pre-activities for teachers to do with students, including teaching about industries and what industry means, and then there are post-activities for classrooms following a program.

But Cooper said the kits are not only for school classrooms and children and teens.

"I think this is something we can do with adults, too,There is a not-so-new phenomenon happening in Del Mar at the Fairgrounds on Saturday nights: high-octane, banked track roller derby!" she said.

And the kits aimed at older children and teens also can be similarly adapted for younger audiences, she said.

And she added that pictures from the museum's collection will be integrated into the kits for future programs.

"We really wanted to bring it down and show a more local component," she said, and History Colorado agreed with this idea.So I'm looking at my silver wheel bolt that are in pretty rough cosmetic shape - and decide that I'd like to have the look of the new black wheel "By bringing in our pictures, they allow us to bring in a whole new level of conversation."

And the kits will a part of Fort Morgan Library and Services for a long time, according to Frye.

"What's so awesome is after the grant's over, we get to keep the kits" in Fort Morgan, Frye said,More worldly viewers quickly called in to say that the mushroom was made from silicone and wondered how someone could not tell the difference between silicon sex toys and Organic mushroom. adding that the kits likely would become a part of offering in the library.
