Tuesday

Checking out some carved baleen at Waldo's, one of the two restaurants.












Amanda, Julia, and the Gadamus' out for burgers, holding a whale gun.
Tuesday I worked with the 6^th-8^th grade class to work individually with students who were generally disruptive and significantly behind. I also worked on vocabulary with the 4^th and 5^th grade students which involved playing vocabulary guessing games and spelling. I also spent time throughout the day working with the kindergartners and 1^st grade students working individually on reading and writing skills. Although there is a very low student to teacher ratio the range abilities in each particular class is incredible. After the experience being in very small classrooms, I can definitely see the appeal of being able to work in a small classroom intensively with a few students, however now I know that fewer students definitely does not mean less work or planning.

Anneli and I have been working out at the school gym weight room in out free time. Most of the older kids and other residents are also in the gym playing basketball in the evening. One of the major threats for students during school is to be put on the ‘night rec list,’ which means they cannot come to gym in the evening.
