MOBY Update via Jenora Howard Schultz:
“MOBY update 2019 Day 1- What a great start to this year's trip! It is the 32nd year of MOBY and Monmouth is still blessed with staff willing to take 48 high school kids camping on the ocean for a whole week. The day started at Maine Maritime College. The class toured the ship The State of Maine, and got to experience raising and lowering the sails of the Schooner Bowdoin. There was a history lesson, a great lunch in the college cafeteria, and a visit to the Planetarium. Perhaps a highlight for many students was time spent in the ship's Bridge simulator. The kids to got try their hands at navigating "ships" through New York Harbor. There was only one MA alumni sighting this year as Joseph Manduca was there getting his tugboat certification. Onward to Acadia- the group got set up in record time, perhaps due to diligent practice ahead of time Dinner tonight was Hot Dogs, Hamburgers and Baked Beans. As I was chatting with Shawn tonight Mrs. Damon Theriault was regaling the students with her famous campfire story. The kids are now headed to bed and will be up early for a busy day tomorrow.”
This past Friday, learners in Ms. Littlefield's Literature III class participated in a #MAkerSpace challenge that utilized their knowledge of the play, A Raisin in the Sun, and materials from #MAkerspace: On a Cart. Mrs. Bellegarde, MA librarian, pulled together a variety of random items - everything from popsicle sticks to empty industrial spools - and asked learners to create a 3D model set from the play using only the description provided in the director's notes. After making a rough sketch, learners worked in collaborative teams of two. Mrs. Bellegarde brought the materials to the classroom with #MAkerspace: On a Cart, challenging learners to work with limitations in their design and construction. It was an excellent learning experience for all learners as well a memorable way for them to apply their knowledge.
The Class of 2023, along with an “above and beyond” MA staff, officially embarked on their MOBY (My Own Back Yard) journey this morning. They are the 32nd class to experience this awesome applied learning trip!
