Sorry it took me so long to update my blog. I have been very busy with school. We spent Monday through Friday of last week at the beach with the jr high students learning about the reef. The pictures are listed under Outdoor Education Spring 2006. It was an awesome time for the kids to learn through hands-on learning. It was also some-what relaxing to spend time at the beach. I think that snorkeling is my new favorite thing to do. It's incredible to see the wonderful world that God has created below the surface of the ocean. Tomorrow is the formal presentation of what the kids have learned and they have spent every morning this week working on making it better. It's hard to motivate jr high students are don't really care about presenting what they've learned (in thier minds they've already learned it; what do they need to present it for). The presentation will reflect the majority of thier quarter grade and the press is coming to do another report. It's awesome to watch kids learn and understand that sometimes we have to do things that are hard.
