On November 13th, Anne Tibbetts, a fourth-grade teacher at Great Salt Bay School (GSB) emailed me, “Thank you both for putting up with our boisterous group. They do get so much out of the experience. I found some cool related material about what we learned today and I will extend it in the classroom.” Few comments from teachers are more exciting to me than this kind of message. Anne’s enthusiasm for the experience, and her willingness to help the kids draw connections between what we learn and other concepts in the classroom, have the capacity to greatly magnify the educational value of what we can offer during one class.
