My final weeks..

As I am preparing for my final weeks at Saguaro National Park, I am working nonstop on the article that they want for the front page of their newspaper. I decided to go back through the interpretive writing class that they bought for me and use all of the step-by-step activities as models for progressing with my article. Needless to say..prewriting was one of the activities. I spent a good two hours making this web...only to have the final product solely accentuate the fact that there is a lot that I'll have to cut back on to fit the 500 word limit.

Among the article writing and front-desk managing, I have several more education outreach programs to wrap up my term here. On the 15th, I am supposed to attend the Marana High School Day Care and do an animal trunk program with a group of about 20 3-5 year olds. Then on the morning of the 16th, a group of 100 3rd graders are coming out to the park for a Desert Wonders Program. They're going to be split into 5 groups to do 5 different stations. The station that I'm in charge of will be an activity down in the basement. Then later in the afternoon, I am supposed to go with Estee to the YMCA to do an outreach program with some kids there.

I hope everyone else's projects are going smoothly!
