I chose the blog that talks about the spirit of expeditionary learning. I found it interesting in the way that it applied to the list of culturally responsive teaching. It struck me the biggest in that through this type of learning the students were able to build bridges and maintain meaningful connections and knowledge.
The project that the students engage is on that they have been measuring the health of a stream near the school for the past five years. This is a great way to build not only community, but also teamwork throughout the class that spans over years, not just weeks and months. This has greatly expanded into other areas of learning and has become a rich experience for everyone involved. Through this the students learn to work together and apply knowledge through teamwork and other areas of learning.
