<h2>Learning To Learn with Inkscape</h2><p>Kate Jepchirchir is a third grader in Zawadi Yetu Academy. Today, being their second week using Inkscape, we decided that we are not going to draw shapes, since they're already used to drawing shapes.</p><h2>Creative Inspiration</h2><p>Kate said today that she wanted to make something different with her name and the name of her school. She drew boxes coloured with different colours, and made a star in the middle.</p><h2>Pride and Ownership</h2><p>When writing her name and the name of her school, she didn't know how to type capital letters. When she explained to me that she wanted capital letters, I showed her how it is done, and she re-did it quickly. She was very happy with her own work and the beautiful colors.</p>
