Back to School

For the past month I have been teaching Outdoor Education here at SMR with sixth graders from around the Colorado area, many who live outside the mountains in the eastern plains.  After just a few hours, I am hearing quotes like; "This is better than Christmas.", "I never wanna leave here." , and "I wish Outdoor School would last forever."  But my favorite quote came from a student of mine after finding out I lived on site and got to eat the food for free.  "Wow! You're treated like royalty!"  ... And sometimes I think they might be right.
