I heard from Gordon Pond and Reel Brook today (still no word from Lincoln Woods... sorry!) and both groups independently mentioned two things that I thought were kind of cool.
First of all Mr. Brummer and Mr. Elkins both commented on the great views they were getting tonight. Rather funny considering how foggy and cloudy it was on campus today.
Second they both mentioned that there was some creative cooking going on tonight for dinner. It sounded like the kids were being creative and mixing some peperoni from lunch into the curried rice and veggies, or turning pizza quesadillas into pizza scrambles.
Both groups report they are tired, a little sore, but doing very well.
As I write this it's 9pm and I'll bet you everyone is already in their sleeping bags and fast asleep!

Sorry but nervous parent here wondering why Lincoln woods is incommunicado ?
Don't be nervous...I felt the same way two years ago and as Hans wrote earlier, he said back then, too: no news is good news. Patience can be tough, but know that the kids are in the best of hands :) Here's a quote to add to the list: "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." --Helen Keller Isn't it grand that the kids can take daring yet healthy, safe risks this week, in such a wonder-ful setting! Such moments of learning are priceless. So glad that they'll get a dry weather day tomorrow!
It was great to see the photos posted today, especially since my son was in that group! The updates are much appreciated, too. Here's a quote to share related to cooperative learning, which is what SophX is about:
"One of the philosophies of education is not to learn merely to acquire information but rather to bring that learning to bear upon our everyday actions and behaviors.” (John Dewey)
Thanks!

Thanks for all the questions and answers - it means much more to hear this kind of thing from another parent than from me :)
Great quotes! I've added them both to the quotes of the day!
