I went to Athol Middle School yesterday to interview for te Bridges Program for next year. I am leaning towards going there. There are so many opportuntities to go outside. Plus Seeds of Solidarity Farm is already involved there.
But the rural kids don't realize how well off they really are. They have woods to explore. Urban kids can barely walk around outside without being in danger. Rural classrooms can take kids right outside and go hiking or take pond samples or plant in their new greenhouse. The teacher I think I will be working with does a lot outside, which is very exciting. He has even set up an orienteiring course in the woods.
About Me
- Jess
- I dream big, but I have no idea where I will end up. I am a middle school science teacher, but I want to go back to school. I am interested in the broader field of education and the possibilities of alternative education. I am also an artist. I design and build furniture from recycled materials and play around with other forms of mixed media art. On the horizon is traveling, starting a school, and building a dream house that is disguised as a giant art installation.
