4/2 - AFTERNOON/EVENING

We have had a lot of fun doing simulations (you probably know that simulations recreate events that have happened in the past, are happening in the present, or may happen in the future). Talk about hands-on learning, these recreations have helped us understand habitats, historical events, and real life situations that people may face in the world today. It creates a whole new perspective on what we thought we knew. Some of the one-word comments when reflecting on our simulations are; "amazing", "awesome", "terrifying", "fun", "exciting", "tunnel" (we'll have to explain that one to you), "cool", "horrifying", and "outstanding."

We are torn about tomorrow ... we don't want to leave but everyone misses home a bit. We have another busy morning so the next blog will be posted by a very tired teacher from the comfort of her own home.

    man i love that week we did a lot of fun things i loved putting the chicken on my head. the baby goats were so awsome to feed. the night hike was fun when we did the solo walk and the slave run was even funner. I wish i could go every year but fun things dont last forever even though i wish it did.
