May 30, 2024 -- Silver Bay's Peer Leadership Ambassadors have been fostering a special relationship with residents at Brandywine Assisted Living in Toms River.
Brandywine recently instituted a program called the WOW Moment. Residents were asked to pick something they want to share that is unique and special to their heart. Then, Brandywine tries to make the wish a reality.
Silver Bay was approached with a wish from one of their residents to teach 5th grade class again.
Dorothy McLane, who will be turning 92 in June, is a retired 5th grade teacher who misses being with students. One of her favorite math lessons to teach has been Chisanbop. Chisanbop, also known as Fingermath, is a Korean finger counting method used to perform basic math operations.
On Thursday, May 23rd, Mrs. McLane got her wish. She taught a Silver Bay 5th grade class Chisanbop!
