Week 1 and 2 Recap

Maker at Hommocks Co-Op Camp

Recap of Week 1 and Week 2

The Staff

The Classroom

We have been working on the mapping project for a week now

and the students are really engaged.

Students were asked to pick their favorite place in

their community.

We then asked them to draw this place and

photograph it on their own time.

Using their own sketches/notes/photograp

hs as resources we put out cardboard, scissors,

glue guns…

Our students used programs like Google

Earth to obtain a topographic view of the

place they choose

We are particularly pleased with how the special needs classes are being integrated. The class is familiar with the swamp behind the school and we are working on a unique collaboration complete with some of the animals and insects we might find in the area

• Our students appear very self-reliant. Other than sharing techniques (i.e. working with wire or glue-guns) we three have really been able to take a back seat and watch the development of the communities take place in each class.

See you next week
