Classroom time :-)

This week is classroom time and to be honest, I am not as excited about this part of the project.  I have been mentoring the students as they prepare their reports and final presentations.  This is a definite change of pace from last week.  Students remain engaged and interested in discussing their learning in their reports.  The presentations have an entrepreneurial theme based on music or home remedies.  On Friday, the presentations will take place and there will be a large(ish) audience. 

What is great about this part of the project is the student interaction.  Everyone is very comfortable and relaxed with each other.  We have a better understanding of personalities and strengths so this makes the classroom experience more dynamic.  I know that there are a lot of tired minds and bodies, but we only have a couple of days left in Grenada.  Knowing that our time is closing we are longing for some beach time and more Grenada experiences.  Snorkelling has been mentioned as a Saturday activity, and I know there is a beach cook-out planned Friday night.  I hope to find some time to pick up a couple of items as souvenirs.  As mentioned, there has not been a lot of opportunity to shop or find treasures to share with everyone at home – sorry!  I’ll do my best!

Tonight we are having a tennis tournament - students against faculty.  Hmmmm could be interesting!  Wish me luck!
