Sally Ride Academy

I am half way through my first experience with a Sally Ride academy class. Today we went on a field trip that took us out into the community so we could experience jobs that some day our students may be doing and that the parents of our kids may be doing. Sometimes as a teacher in the educational setting you lose sight of the "real" world. As a teacher you tend to immerse yourself in education, it was good to see other parts of the world. My field trip was to the Waukesha Recycling facility and it was fascinating. I started planning how I want utilize the information that I gained from this workshop. My school is not up to par for recycling and I would love to help change this. Since I am one of the student council advisors for my school I think that is a great place to start my new recycling initiative. I have also created a new wiki at wetpaint for our student council events. Check it out ol student council
