Adventures at Chitzan Itza nearby ruins, Tulum, Mexico

I went to Cancun, first time, and traveled to Tulum to see the last Mayan Ruins. Tulum was a walled fotress in the post classic period.

It had a nice, but eerie feel that was comfortable. The doorway showed how small Mayan were in stature. It was perfect for my size.

Happy Equinox and Have a Great Spring!!!

This year is already flying by. This winter saw many of us working hard in school and getting stronger by springtime. I have been working on my own college course work, writing grants for our science department, and helping students prepare for school standardized testing. I will share more with spring break coming soon. This work and effort are helping make a more fulfilling workplace and more fun to teach young people.

Matt Damon speaks at Miami Beach Community Gathering

     

Gwen Foote attended a community gathering, invited by other science teachers and friends. The neighborhood of Miami Beach met at a community concert to encourage all to vote. The slogan was “Don’t Wait. Vote Now.” It was a chance for people to show they care about their community, their children, their future.

 

The afternoon was filled with music, food, camaraderie, hope, and a shared vision of promise through a change. Matt Damon came on the stage to speak to his community. His efforts were not negative, nor dismal, but hopeful. He spoke brilliantly about the community and how important it is to support government, voting, education, health, and family. It was an optimistic and inspiring talk. I was proud to show his photo to my students. We are proud to call him friend of the community and our schools.

Thank you, Matt Damon. 

Thank you for speaking and your photo. Our students enjoyed it.

Talking about YouTube – My scientific Method/Vocab homework

 

Who would have guessed that technology makes learning science so much fun. Someons at school laughed at me and said they couldn’t tell who was having more fun, me teaching or the students learning. That’s a good sign.
