Two sessions have followed my last update. Open Classroom has played Island Jeopardy and made prints of island endemics.
The Jeopardy game was played with an answer sheet in each category the kids could pick from. I have to say if I could do it again I would use smaller groups. The questions were from the park website and hike narrative but easy enough so the kids could deduct the answers from the answer sheet. Even with my partner it was way wild!
The island endemic prints were made after a very quick talk about Andy Warhol. Some of the prints ended up with realistic colors but the intent was to use unrealistic colors and just have fun with creating art. My partner Callie (who loves the island theme this year will carry it on next year) showed a park movie (from website) and did a talk while we were going wild in another room. It took me awhile to make the stencils from pictures i have taken in the past. This was a very labor intensive project, but also the most fun so far!
