NEXT WEEK WE ARE GOING TO START TEACHING THE UNISPHERE. THE UNISPHERE IS THE PORTABLE PLANETARIUM. WE HAVE TO LEARN THE PARTS OF THE NIGHT SKY AND HELP THE KIDS RECONGNIZE THEM.

THIS WEEK AT CONFLUENCE HAS BEEN OKAY. I WAS OUT ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY, SO I HAD SOME CATCHING UP TO DO. IT WAS EASY BECAUSE THERE ARE A LOT OF US AND WE ARE WILLING TO HELP OTHERS. SINCE I HAVE BEEN BACK I HAVE TAUGHT TWO LESSONS.

I THINK THAT I AM DOING A LITTLE BETTER WITH THE WHOLE GROUP TEACHING. NOW I AM TALKING AND TRYING TO BE MORE INVOLVED. SOMETIMES I STILL FEEL A LITTLE AKWARD BECAUSE I DONT KNOW THE KIDS.

OVERALL MY TEACHING EXPERIENCE HAD BEEN AN ENJOYABLE ONE. I HOPE THAT THE KIDS ARE ACTUALLY LEARNING SOMETHING FROM US. I KNOW THAT I HAVE LEARNED A  LOT SO FAR. AND SINCE THE SUMMER IS NOT OVER I KNOW THAT THERE IS MORE KNOWLEDGE TO COME.

 

 

THIS WEEK WE HAVE STARTED WORKING AT THE SCHOOL CONFLUENCE ACADEMY. SO FAR IT HAS BEEN FINE. WE HAVE BEEN BASICALLY DOING THE SAME OLD THING....TEACHING KIDS. WE ARE TEACHING THEM ABOUT SPACE. THE MAIN THINGS THAT WE ARE FOCUSING ON ARE THE PLANETS. THEY GET TO MAKE SPACE PROBES, PLANET POSTERS, SMALL SOLAR SYSTEMS. AND INTERESTING THINGS. FOR THE NEXT THREE WEEKS WE WILL BE LEADING UP TO THE GRAND FANALE>>>> THE PORTABLE PLANETARIUM.

 

 

FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS WE HAVE BEEN WORKING AT EHLA. WHILE WE WERE THERE WE TAUGHT THE CHILDREN ABOUT ECOLOGY. THE WE DID FIVE MAIN ACTIVITIES; SOIL SAM, LIMA BEAN DISECTION, MINI-HABITATS, THE FOOD CHAIN GAME, AND THE ECO-COLONY. I THINK THAT THE KIDS HAD AS MUCH FUN DOING THE ACTIVITIES AS THEY DID LEARNING ABOUT THEM. I KNOW THAT MOST OF THE TEENS HAD FUN AS WELL. RIGHT NOW WE ARE PREPARING FOR THE PORTIONOF OUR SUMMER. WE WILL BE AT CONFLUENCE ACADEMY. WE WIL BE TEACHING THESE GROUPS ABOUT SPACE. WELL THATS ALL I HAVE TO SAY FOR NOW.
