Busy morning as we prepared for the last of our school visits. I was able to visit an intermediate school which would be comparable to Wawona. It was a decile 8 school with lots of multicultural students. Before we left this morning they even let us watch their kapa haka performance. They still needed a little more practice but they do have a month to go. The girls even tried to get us to learn how to do the poi balls. I will need a LOT more practice.
I also got to meet with and talk to the special education coordinator for the school site and sit in for lessons in their learning center. Very interesting for me. Also popped in to look at several of their elective classes -- it was amazing that they still get to do woodshop, cooking, sewing, and metal shop. The woodshop teacher even made me a wooden wind toggle thing. I had a great morning.
Afternoon was spent at the university listening to their lead professor on Children's Literature. I learned some new perspectives and realize that when I read I just do it for enjoyment not looking for hidden meanings. Also picked up two more caches and a travel bug which will be going with me to Mongolia.
