First Day at Columbine Elementary

I was part of the group that went to Columbine Elementary School today (April 8, 2008) and it turned out to be a great success.  The four CU students involved each worked with a group of kids who analyzed their idea of a great neighborhood and then we proceeded to design these ideal neighborhoods with the mostly recycled materials.  The kids had lots of energy and enthusiasm for their projects, and also to have the chance to be working on them with us as well.  I felt like this was a much needed boost, at least for me, because the sessions at Casey have been so lacking in participants and enthusiasm.  Though today's lesson may not have been as educational as we may have hoped (as the kids were more interested in doing their own things),  their enthusiasm to work on the projects definitely made the day feel much for successful.
