Day four at Camp Huntington was very informative. We visited two museums in the Adirondacks. The first was the Wild Center, which is the natural museum of the Adirondacks. While we were there we were given a presentation of Visual Thinking Strategies. I think this could be a very effective program to use with my students next year, engaging them with sharing and listening to their peers. The second museum we got to see and explore was the Adirondack Museum. At the museum we got to learn about the history and people that established the Adirondack Park. They were both good visits except we were short on time and it felt a little rushed.
The high point for me today came at 6am when a classmate and I went kayaking this morning. The lake was like a fresh sheet of ice after a Zamboni resurfaced an indoor ice rink. As we rounded the corner we receive a surprise. A beautiful loon with a completely black head popped up out of the water from no where. It looked at us for a few minutes and then dived down into the water. We never saw it again. It was a wonderful peaceful way to begin the day.
