Last Day!


Today's theme was fun! Mrs. Curran and Mr. Grieve planned a trip to the bowling alley today!

8:15 - Rain threatens to cancel our plans for the day. We bide our time by preparing for the exhibition night tonight and watching a movie.

10:00 - We were invited to a sneak peak of 10 Ways to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse. The theater group did an amazing job and it was fun supporting another STEMmersion class!
A must-see show - 10 Ways to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse
11:00 - The clouds begin to part and our chances appear slightly better. Lunch plans are made to eat early in the hopes of leaving soon.

11:45 - After waiting around we decide to brave the weather and go despite the drizzle.

12:45 - After a short lesson from Mrs Curran the students bowled two games while Mr Grieve enjoys a tasty pizza.

Mrs. Curran explains the rules
Daemon bowling
Josh's first time bowling! And first strike ever!

Yusuf and Dena enjoy bowling... maybe?

3:04 - Return to school and do a plus/delta on the course to plan for next year.

Pluses: 

  • Liked biking all over Dayton!
  • Seeing the scenery, historic sites, and spots around Dayton.
  • 95% of the class was biking!
  • Most of the trips were student-planned.
  • Physical exercise was rewarding.

Deltas:

  • Better planning for poor weather conditions.
  • Lots of bike problems - tell students their bikes should be tuned up before class starts.
  • Get a smaller group (if possible).
  • Have a full day of checking bike maintenance.
  • Figure out an average speed the group can travel at and stay together more.
  • Give more planning days to contact trip destinations.
Overall average class score for the course: 4.56/5

Have a great summer everyone!
