aurora borealis smiles tonight
at the round rock isp presentation.
nice job dude!
it was such a fun evening walking around and visiting each students research.
justin, nathan and i loved asking questions of the 4th and 5th graders.
we learned a lot about greek mythology, apple, roman coliseums and herbs.
we debated long after we had left why so many students had
selected greek gods for their topic.
we concluded that the rick riordan book series is so popular with this
age group, that many wanted to learn more.
i don't every remember learning this stuff in school.
the boys tested my knowledge & laughed when all i could come up with was some
dude named zeus.
nathan went into a long discussion about all the greek gods and
encouraged justin and i to read 'the lightning thief' to further our
knowledge.
(gotta love nate, always thinking!)
we all agreed that there is just so much to learn out there
and just not enough time to learn it all.
we loved colins reason for selecting the aurora borealis -
i had never even heard of it before this project -
"because i have been to niagara falls and i wanted to
find out about another one of the seven wonders of nature."
guess all those annual trips to niagara falls with his cousins
left a memorable imprint on his brain.
as we sat around our sonic dinner tonight,
we picked our favorite presentations in several different categories.
best visual. best public speaker. best effort. most creative.
best new information we didn't already know.
its so fun just to open their brains and take a peek inside.
i love to listen to their reasons and rationales.
i love to view life from their prospective.
i love to encourage them to explore life.
i love to watch them think out loud.
life. now. today.
