AmeriWeen 2010

Yes, I did indeed do that. Make the title of this entry into an AmeriWord :)

So anyways, last night was our time to celebrate Haloween. We all had been invited to a house party for an Americorps Cape Cod alumni. It was pretty great for a while, until I and a few others were the only  sober people at the party. So thats when we decided to make our treck home. Here are a few pictures of the night's events.

Teaching

Today was the first time I've ever taught kids. I took 3 groups of 6-8 8th graders to the the shoreline survey of Shivrick's Pond in Falmouth. My SP Nancy went around with me for the first class and this seemed to have gone really well. The kids seemed to be still asleep then though. The second group of kids were a lot more engaged and talkative with me. But I was done like 20 minutes early and didnt no what else to talk about with them. So we walked back around the pond. Then I had an hour and a half off and spent it talking to the 2 volunteers that taught the other kids in the class. The last class that we taught today still went pretty ok, but got done teaching with 15 minutes left to spare. After teaching I wasnt feeling so well, so I went home early :(

1 1/2 Months In

So Im just starting this blog now and Im dedicating it to all my experience with Americorps Cape Cod.

Im not going to do a recount of what has happened so far--but I will try my best to write journal entries about some everyday things that happen here on the Cape.

Friday night was Mission Wolf--here are some pictures of the wolves
