Enviro Blog Post
Since the last entry, there is so much to share as we have had some incredible adventures and some humbling experiences over the past month, that it might be hard to share them all in one short post. Let’s start with the coming and going of our fellow family member and teacher candidate Matt to new adventures fighting fires out west, to mountain biking, meeting David Suzuki (unreal!), to the bonding experience that was our Muskoka trip, learning all there is to know about trees, to climbing and caving, slowing down at Everdale, and then gearing up for running the amazing show that was our Grade 5 week at Innisfil Central. Breathe. To think that we had visitors from the Netherlands come all the way to see us in action (yeah, really!), and to absolutely blow their minds with what we do on a daily basis. Cool. But even more awesome, was spending the past 3 days in our most pristine Algonquin Park. Seriously, how lucky are we to spend most of the week paddling and portaging our way in probably Ontario’s most beautiful classroom? And just before the onslaught of blackflies coming soon too. Time is flying a little too fast, and slowing down is again what we need to do to take in the million things we do in Enviro. You could probably pick any one of the list above (and I’m probably missing things there too) and might be what another class might choose as a focal point in a semester. But we are not a normal class. It is one thing to list the things we do, but it is so much more than that as all of us who go through it know so well. People make the experience. And after the introspection from this trip, and the past month can indicate, it is going to be surreal to put the pieces of this awesome puzzle of a semester together and see what the picture reveals in each of us.
