I have to concur with my fellow participants in saying that this has been an amazing experience. I have loved being able to discuss ideas for lesson plans and brainstorm ideas for making these lessons really come to life for the students. It is wonderful having a conglomerate of professionals to pull ideas from (and have a lot of fun with).
My favorite part of today (besides rafting of course) was walking around the garden area at the Buffalo Bill center and viewing the Plains Museum. It was incredible being able to see the different Native American houses, as well as experience what it was like inside a Hidatsa dwelling. I loved the incredible sculptures outside in the gardens, particularly the structure of Sacagawea. Being able to learn about her life, in preparation for my report, really has increased my interest in learning even more about her. I think it's wonderful when we give our students a "taste" of a concept that inspires them to take it even further.
Thanks all for all the fun!!
