Wow! Today is the last day of classes... the last official day of the semester. I can't believe that our Summit project is almost half over already. This is a short month school-wise, but we've still managed to log some hours over at Boyd. To start off the month, we lead another Think Green meeting at Boyd. We made really cool recycled paper Christmas ornaments and helped the students complete some of their recycled notebooks. We ended up volunteering to take the notebooks home so that we can help them get a jump start on this project.
The next day we went back to Boyd to complete our second in-class presentation on the wind and wind power. The 1st grade students that we presented to on December 2nd were SO rowdy! They had a substitute teacher, so it was quite a challenge keeping them under control and focused. But, we eventually got them calmed down and we were able to tell them all about the importance of renewable energy and how wind power works.
I'm incredibly excited for the evolution of our project into next semester. We've already tackled all of the frustrating aspects of the project (communication issues), which means that next semester should be a breeze. We'll be able to plan many more events and follow through with everything. Hopefully the carnival that we're trying to plan will come to fruition as well!
The Wellness Program has been helpful, this week especially with the wonderful free massages. Though, in all honesty, I find it a bit stressful to remember to log on to the web site and do the meditation each day.
I'm excited to tell the rest of the Summit community all about our project in class tonight! :) And, I can't wait for Christmas!
Happy Holidays!
Amy
