I have just added my second teaching #throughglass video to my blog series; however, this one is quite a bit different than my previous video. This one captures what it's like for a teacher to go on a single day expedition (field trip) with a group of 8th graders. Since our motto at the middle school is "School as Expedition", we take a lot of "expeditions" to various places for various lengths of time. This particular expedition we took half of our 8th graders to Forest Park to do a fish sampling and data collecting expedition. Below in my second teaching #throughglass video you'll see a 12+ minute glimpse of what it's like for a teacher to be on a single-day expedition with middle school students...stay tuned later in the year for a glimpse into what's it's like on a multi-day overnight expedition! Enjoy!

Teaching #throughglass 2
Remember my first "Teaching #throughglass" post earlier this school year? I said I was going to do a series of what it is like to see the classroom (or in this instance the outdoor classroom!) through the teacher's eyes as filmed by using Google Glass.

Team 8 Service Project
Team 8 decided to give back to our St. Louis community today. In partnership with Forest Park Forever, MRHMS 8th graders spent the morning out in Forest Park helping with everything from landscaping, planting tulip bulbs and grass seed, and cleaning up the park. All in all, the couple hours 8th graders spent serving together saved the folks at Forest Park Forever a week's worth of work doing the same things on their own.
MRH students worked fantastically with their community and with each other today during this service project. They've really developed a sense of what it means to give back, serve, and be stewards of the land. This 8th grade class is such a fantastic group of students that I KNOW will do great things in life.
