"That was the best day of my life!" yelled one of Room 10's students as they disembarked from the bus after a fabulous trip to the science centre. Another student remarked that she has always wanted to go on a school bus, and she finally did. The trip as filled with learning opportunities from social expectations to how a circuit works. We learned to negotiate in order to build a structure as a group. This proved extremely challenging for our students. Everyone likes to do their own thing. None of us like to follow instructions or accept feedback. AND!! WE DID IT! We decided on a built a tunnel.
