Highlight Reel - Navajo Nation

The walk from our house to the school took about 10 or 15 minutes, but it offered some beautiful views.
Here's Meg working with a high school senior (whose name I cannot even attempt to spell correctly). The two collaborated on a Navajo storybook that will be a gift to the second grade class at Williamstown Elementary with whom Meg works part-time.
Some sixth graders eager to show off the knowledge they acquired during our world cultures lesson.
On Tuesday we made some really delicious (and very greasy) bacon cheeseburgers. Food-wise, definitely a high point of the trip.
We had a panel discussion about college with the senior class. The topic was: "What is college really like?", and I think it was pretty successful. The sad part is, it is likely that fewer than 15 of the 35-person class will end up even beginning their freshman year of college.
Here's Tarjinder, my workshop partner, helping some fifth grade students build a bridge out of straws and masking tape. We taught a lesson on force to the 3rd-7th grades, which culminated in a bridge-building competition. The students really seemed to enjoy it.
Taida, Amanda, and Tarjinder with the first grade students, who were absolutely adorable.
Most of the group after a successful summit of Canyon De Chelley (pronounced Canyon De-Shay). Don't know if this picture really does justice to the beauty of the 550-ft depths of the Canyon... the hike was incredible!

These are just eight of the hundreds of pictures I took while on our trip.  I’ll post the link to my Flickr album when I have the rest uploaded!
