Hmm....today was another day of learning in the Carlson classroom. But today instead of learning about the Adirondacks and it's history we focused on living "green"...we learned about what we ourselves can do as educators in the classroom. Along the lines of teaching our children how to live a sustainable lifestyle and how we ourselves can do the same. We were introduced to numerous resources including books and agencies that can help us incorporate green living into our daily lives and the classroom. In class today we also discussed our essays and a valid point that was brought up was how our children need more activities outside and how teachers should try to incorporate the environment into our curriculum. Today was a valuable lesson for me as were all of this past weeks discussions, it was great to hear input from numerous teachers about their students and their classrooms and problems they have dealt with. As a future teacher, I myself plan to take many of the discussions to heart and will probably be able to relate to them once I get out in the field.
For the second part of the day we headed out to the high ropes course. In the past I've done a low ropes course which was ultimately for team building not for pushing yourself. When I got on the high ropes course today I definitely tested and pushed myself out of my comfort zone. I was super proud of myself that I finished it because I was sure that about halfway through I was going to quit....but I didnt.....GO ME!!!:) I appreciated all of my peers enthusiasm, support and courage!
