Good food(?), good times, great friends!!


Wow!!! I can't believe the whole experience is really over! I was sad to leave you guys a little bit early on Saturday.

I wish so badly that I could have Joe fire up the bus and take my whole class on our trip. What a great learning experience for me. I had only been to Evanston and Fort Bridger before our trip. Many new sights and bits of information.

I am excited to take Tim's strategies back to use in my classroom. I really liked the classification idea. I think this can be used in any area of content. I also liked the 20 word summary. It makes you really have to think about the info to put it in such a small concise summary. Another favorite is the Happiness Scale. I think this is a great conversation starter for any teacher read that you may do. I was surprised that everyone didn't answer and think just like me. he he he jk I think it is a great tool.

Thanks for all the great ideas and even more for the wonderful relationships!!! I can't wait for the reunion trip!!! Miss you guys!!!
