It is amazing to me that after only three days of this camp, I have experienced so much. My teaching has been stretched to new limits as the six of us teachers have come to a place where we now finish each other's sentences during instruction. We truly feed off of each other, and have built a professional trust that usually takes months to achieve. They have taught me so much about how to teach.
And the students. The living example that learning can be fun - and funny. Laughter has abounded, and the aha! moments are frequent occurrences. The insight these kids have and the connections they make are astounding. If only one more week...
But we know that part of what makes this so special is the program's brevity. As we send them off to middle school, I wonder what special things they will be doing. Is it possible they will remember a four-day camp at the end of their fifth grade year?
