FOREST DAY
Here in the great northland, spending days of school time in the forest, just walking about is generally thought to be a good idea. So, we had a whole school forest day. These two photographs illustrate the marked difference in school atmosphere between Norway and the States. Photo #1: My whole class (+Peter) In a tree. No lie. Photo number 2: Students spontaneously making a fire on a school trip. We actually had three going as little groups of folks would break off and make their own. No adult assistance of supervision necessary. Is that crazy or what?! And, so much fun.
