What Teachers Do in the Summer!
I’ve been doing lots of great things this summer! For two weeks in the middle of July I was at Bowdoin College with about 40 other teachers involved in an American Biography class. This is something both Mrs. Koskela and I have been involved in. We had afternoon meetings last year, two weeks this summer, and will do the same thing again next year! We’ve read a lot of great biographies and I have learned a lot! Here some photos.
One thing we did was go on field trips. The bus ride look familiar?
We went to Pemaquid to visit the museum, fort, and archaeology dig.
Here we are listening to Ken, the archaeologist who did a lot
of the work here, explain the site.
Here I am outside the Bowdoin Art Museum.
So what do you think this photo represents? The contents of the bucket to the right in the first photo shows in the second photo. If you think you know what this is, post a comment and tell us! If you know why it was particularly tricky to use this, tell us that, too!
We spent 4 hours most days listening to a lecture about one of the
biographies we read. Afraid I didn’t have a photo of us, so I borrowed
this one from creativecommons.org.
I’m looking forward to seeing you all! I plan to post a blog with a mystery from a local cemetery next week, so stay posted!
Mr. Light
