Sorry to those who want constant updates. With school being so hectic I barely have time to breath.
Here is a quick run down of the last 5 weeks of my life.
First week of school I had research class from 8-11 which required me to do lots of daily assignments, chapter readings, and tests to study for.
Second week of school found me with research class from 8-11 requiring daily assignments, two tests to study for, and a draft of sources for my research project. I also had Health in the Outdoors from 1-4 which required a group unit plan, daily readings and reactions.
Third week of school me studying hard in research from 8-11 requiring daily assignments, two chapters to study for and the first draft of my research proposal. I also started an Environmental Ministries class from 12-4 with daily readings, 5.5 page reaction paper and nature collection box. After that class I had to drive 30 minutes to a Language Arts class in the Out of doors from 5-8 that required daily readings, unit project, and daily journaling.
Fourth week required research from 8-11 with a final chapter test and final cumulative test as well as final presentation of research proposal and oral presentation. Environmental Ministries from 12-4 paper was due etc. and Language arts from 5-8 we had to teach our unit. Needless to say it was a hectic week.
This fifth week was rather relaxing. Since Amy worked two 12 hour shifts and an 8 hour shift I didn’t make it home and started this week in the dorm. I only have class from 8-12 at the Nature Center in Chattanooga and the teacher has asked me to drive a school van with students to class. So up at 7, driving by 7:30 to be at class around 8. It is a great class on how to create outdoor education sites to promote nature learning. Wonderful class and it requires lots of reading, a proposal to an inner city school of possible site locations and a project for our own schools to create some outdoor sites.
This last week will be my final week for the summer and it will be packed mostly with a little studying and hopefully lots of rock climbing! I have gone twice in the last week with some of my fellow students and have been having fun.
Hope everyone else is having a great time this summer. Have a grand weekend and I will see some of you soon!
