About 5 miles on a cold frosty day.
At the top of the hill, all the trees were covered in white frost. It was very lovely and peaceful. Only the very hardiest of joggers and hikers were out this morning so it was a wonderful hike.
Ken and I had a great chat about the class for At-Risk students that we will be co-teaching at SRHS this spring. He will be offering a 4 credit graduate level course at PSU for teachers, science and math majors who would like to explore teaching applied math and science to students who are at-risk of not graduating due to failing math or science courses. I will be teaching, along with a math teacher, a credit recovery course afterschool for juniors or seniors who need science and math credits. The graduate students will act and co-teachers and mentors to the at-risk students.
Anyway, hiking along the quiet trails of forest park offered a very nice way to discuss and think about the details of the course. It is interesting that the idea for this class was conceived during a hike at Eagle Creek this summer. I find the mind works amazingly well when out in nature.
