The last full day for the Institute. Edith, from Holland, left this morning...two of our presenters left on Saturday....but not to fear....we were joined at breakfast downstairs by 200 middle and high school basketball players here for a clinic and staying, you guessed it, here at the Traditions! We spent the day in planning how we would set up a module (of our choice - I chose the one where kids could watch plant sex) in our classrooms.
Actually it was a terrific day...full of discussions, ideas, and suggestions. Best day of the Institute so far. We all went out to our last group dinner, as many are leaving tomorrow afternoon. We also had homework in the form of 8 pages of after action surveys, but I just kept putting down that the way they could best support me is with a new Mercedes convertible.
I also sent you a link to a snapfish album (or 2) that contains pictures from the week that 2 of may fellow classmates with working (not dead) cameras uploaded. I am in a few pix but only a few of the 700. Tomorrow....the end of phase one!
I can only imagine your student's reactions when you say, "Today's class students will consist of each and everyone of you seeing plant sex happen right in front you!"
