Our day start with a delicious breakfast. Followed by some rounds of stump-the-staff and learning our class choices for today. We then embarked on our 2 hour field group. I don't mean to scare any parents but some groups (3 to be exact) were able to burn the prairie - yes, I said burn. They did an amazing job. If only you could see the manual labor they are willing to perform, I promised them I would keep it to myself.
Being two-for-Tuesday, students will also be choosing 2 classes today. Their first class choices were Zines, Green Machine, Marsh Madness, Lumbrjack Scramble, Trail Blazing, and Kingdonm Come. Those classes will run from 1:30 - 3:00 (yes, 90 minutes). Also, our meals are 1 hour long each.
The second round of classes were Yoga, Tabloid News, Science Fair, Bird is the Word, and Build an Empire. You'd be amazed at the connections they make. They are talking science, literacy, social studies, and math but they never use those actual words. I even heard a few kids refer to physics. Maybe you didn't catch that ,,,,,,, PHYSICS!!!!!! It's utterly amazing and exciting to listen to them go on and on about their classes.
Check back later - more to follow. We have a lot to accomplish today.
