Final Post

I think overall our activity went really well. I think the second period went a little better than the first of course, because by the second period we really had everything down. We were able to give the kids a substantial amount of information, and also summarize our own experiences and sustainability visits. Then of course all of the kids had fun making gingerbread houses and working with candies. What was surprising was that the younger kids, in the 5th grade, put more effort and used more creativity and knowledge from what we taught them, into their gingerbread houses than the kids in 7th grade did for example. Everyone seemed to really grasp the concept of living a greener life, which was nice to see. I think if there was one thing we could’ve done to make it better was to practice, but other than that it went well. Unfortunately, because we needed more time to set up, I had to miss the videos and songs that were played during the meeting. I enjoyed being able to teach the kids, and having them learn new things. I had a lot of fun.
