West Philadelphia Free Community Summer Camp.
Pleasant Grove Baptist Church Inc.
Minister V anessa Dicks - Coordinator
I have organized two free summer community camps, the first one in 2016 and again in 2017; which lasted for the duration of one month. In 2017 over 120 children were registered to attend our camp; which was twice. as many children than we had in 2016. For that reason, we needed all the help we could get. Thankfully, members of our church volunteered to teach and help out in other areas needed, and in addition we hired part time instructors. We were also able to feed the children breakfast, lunch and a snake; provided by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
Our classes were divided in three sections, according to age. Ages 4t08,9 to 12, and 13 to 16. Ms. Patricia Melendon, who is also a member of our church, volunteered to help out and to be an instructor. She was responsible to teach the Young Scholars, whose ages ranged from ages 4to 8. Her class attendance numbered between 10-13 children on a daily bases.
We knew that Ms. McLendon was musically talented; but what we did not know about her, was that she also owned a company called Wittles Worth Innovative Education, for which she creates educational tools, some of which she used to teach her class complex lessons.
She created everything she used, with which she taught them the concepts of numbers, literature, and even the solar system. She made a globe, gave it atmosphere, surrounded it with molecules, and showed the children how the sun controls them al. She used her tools and methods of teaching to convey the concept of ‘multiplication, division, adding, sublracting, and phonics rules.
The children were able to grasp every lessons almost immediately. They had so much fun learning new things, interacting and participating, and when given a question about what they learned, they were so anxious. to share their new found knowledge, that they would often yell out answers before being called upon.
The children were learning so many new things, and so were the parents. Parents reported that their children were teaching them things, of which they were not even aware. Needless to say, the parents were very impressed how much their children were learning in such a short period of time. Ms. McLendon's educational tools and teaching methods made a huge positive difference and lasting impression.
Also, members from the Archdiocese were so impressed by Ms. McLendon's creativity that they sent Drexel University students from China to observe our Camp, as well as her educational inventions. Asa result, our camp was named the best summer camp in Philadelphia.
With Ms. McLendon's educational tools help make our camp an overwhelming success. We are looking forward to offering another community summer camp next year.
