Opening Circle
Starting off the day as usual with an opening circle. We had a reading from Kyle, then set off!
Stations
Bugs and Water Quality: During these stations, which we would trade with each other after 45 minutes, we either took data from the river for water quality using the Vernier Probes or drew and categorized macroinvertebrates that we found on the river floor.
Solitude and Reflection:
The writing invitation for this week’s Solitude and Reflection was asking us how this location of Tumalo Creek (Shevlin Park) compared to the other locations we had visited. As usual, we separated in the wide expanse of Shevlin so that we couldn’t see one another.
Closing Circle:
During the closing circle, we shared highlights, discoveries, and appreciations. After that, we got our gear and drove back to the school.
This area seems healthy. The water quality is great; some areas are a bit low. The varied shapes of lumps and bumps in the current of the river remind me of life. The mood rollercoaster, the different perspectives, the rising and falling of success. The success that is seemingly too hard to reach, eternally trying, fighting! To get where? The never ending destination, success in and of itself we all realize eventually.
