Upon waking up this morning, we noticed something different about Gaston. The usual green and sunny scenery was coated with a thin layer of fresh, twinkling snow. Early that morning, we received a notification via text message alerting us that the KIPP school was closed due to "heavy" snow in North Carolina. We all knew that if we just sat in the house all day we'd go stir crazy so we decided to get out and go bowling. Since Gaston is a relatively small town, we drove an hour away to get to the nearest bowling alley--which was an adventure within itself.
After bowling, we came back to the cabin and had amazing fajitas for dinner made by Leslie and Annie banannie. Then in place of a reflection, we watched a 80-minute film called "American Teacher" which explored the profession of teaching in a public setting in America today. After the movie, we discussed the pros and cons of teaching in public school, emphasizing possible solutions to bring change to the current public school conditions. #theend
