Notes from public school - day 48

Today, we went on a field trip.

The Junior League of Greenville put on Home Run for Healthy Kids at Fluor Field for schools in Greenville County, and our 4th grade at BES was a part of it.

There were volunteers with booths all around the stadium, teaching kids how to live healthy lives, filling bags with healthy things for kids to take home.

It was wonderful.

My favorite part of the day was when we got to go out onto the baseball field and run around the bases.

My students were so excited. 

“Who’ll be the fastest?” they wondered.

Guess what?

I was!

Not only was I the fastest in my class, but I was also the fastest teacher of the day.

I set the record at 16.5 seconds :)

I love immersion journalism.

A journalist immerses herself or himself into a place among a people at a certain point of time and writes a story through the eyes, hearts, hands, feet and words of “someone who was there.”

I also love immersion teaching.

I try to immerse myself into the shoes of my students and experience the day as they experience it, experience life as they live it.

I am “someone who is there.”

And today I had the fastest feet.
