Last Day

Today was the eighth and final presentation in Annie Draper's 4th Period math class.  It has been a lot of fun going and participating in this program and teaching the kids about the brain and making connections.  I certainly picked up a lot of useful information from the experience.  It was excellent.  Though the last lesson was based on a survey or questionnaire and asking the kids how they liked the course I decided to put in my own material and shared with the students the lesson on fleas I was taught many years ago by President Armstrong while serving in South Africa.  I love it and I thought it applied to our study of the brain and the need we have to push forward when we make mistakes.  It was a bit rowdy today and had to do with their being a substitute teacher in the class.  The students were not as disciplined as they are when Annie is there with them.  Well, I was able to gather most of their attention and get them involved and I think they enjoyed learning about the fleas.  I've still got a lot of observations to do so maybe I will be back at the high school watching things.  We'll see.  Grateful for the experience.
