goin' fishing

Friday was our 4th grade Rendezvous.
This is a BIG undertaking, but one of the teachers
I teach with has done it for years, so she
has it down to a science.  The students got to
have a REAL mtn man come and talk with them
and share cool stuff, then we headed outdoors
to play games, make marshmallow shooters
and FISH with our hands. I just couldn't pass
up the opportunity to catch a fish myself.
It took several attempts and a few freak-outs
b4 I actually caught one.  Then we got to eat em.
We had some dads come and fillet them and fry em
up.  Quite tasty!!  The day ended with a "trading post". 
Over the past several months the students
have earned beaver pelts and then they got to
buy/barter for items they wanted from the trading post.
It was a super fun day.  The weather was cool, but
the rain held off, so we were able to carry out
all our activities out doors.  I am soo lucky to
work with such amazing teachers, who are
incredibly organized and plan soo many
awesome acitivities!
