So I counted this morning, and I only have (counting today) 8 more 4-5 hour shifts left at the museum this summer! That's both a good thing and a stressful thing. It is very stressful because Dr. Ellis gets back sometime this week or next, and I'm sure she has not looked over our guides that much, so in the last 38 hours I'll be in the office, I'll be correcting them and finishing any other project that she needs me to complete. Last year I stayed on at the museum after my summer internship to get class credit, but I don't think I'll be doing it this year because I'm graduating in December. So basically that means I need to have the guides 100% completed with all corrections by August 5th!
Anyways, this week Ashleigh and I are FINALLY going to be testing the activities. This has been postponed for the last week or so because the shark teeth took longer to paint than anticipated and we had issues getting all of the materials we need to test them. Honestly, the activities are pretty simple and straightforward (except for Ashleigh's "Dinosaur Density" activity), so hopefully we get good feedback!
There's not much going on other than that, so enjoy your week and see you all in class!
I feel you on the last few shifts thing! I only have 3 more 5-hour shifts and 1 more 4-hour shift (I'm leaving early Friday) left at the Museum. It's crazy to think about, how fast this summer went by! Well I hope y'all's activity testing goes well & good luck getting all that finished in those next couple shifts, but I know you can do it!
ReplyDeleteYAAYYY, testing out the activities finally sounds exciting! I'm sure they will work out great! I think I'm actually behind on my hours at the planetarium because of holidays and whatnot... So, I have been working the weekends now to catch up, but I'm confident I'll hit the 240hr mark =) See you soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for you to start teaching! It's always a wonderful, yet, slightly anxious feeling to see the fruits of your labor. You may have seen this already, but I came across this video and thought it was HILARIOUS. Seriously, you have to see this...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoTIaRyGzac
ReplyDeleteIt's the funniest video I've ever seen about kids and math.
Stop trying to leave me alone in the office...I'm going crazy I swear. Can't wait to test out the activities again tomorrow (or Thursday lol)! Maybe we'll have more kids wanting to see what it would feel like if a dinosaur ate them, hahahaha!
