Well...here we are. 2012 and living in Charleston, SC, teaching at an amazing community orriented school. Our latest project is starting up our Common Ground Project. We have cleared a quarter of an acre of land and this Spring, we will grow: corn, bell peppers, cucumbers, garlic, onions, sunflowers, herbs and the list will go on and on!
This first year at MDS has been filled with happiness, discovery, and HUGE tests of strength and discipline on my part. The search for an assistant or co-teacher is still on going. My current co-teacher is wonderful and amazing...but alas her love is highschool age students and she has the gift for it.
Since my past post in November we have taken many nature walks, discovered a grove of trees to climb and hang in. The hoard of boys in my class have discovered the Sensorial area as well as the Grand Array (finally!) and we are STILL practicing Grace and Courtsey....much needed practice, but we are getting there.
I am looking forward to some growth with our future farm school ideals and excited for this big ole' garden to get started!
