Just for kicks and because I happened to jot it down, here is a list of some of the things that are possible to talk about during one hike to the waterfall with a group of 5th graders.
Coconut bras
Mamacitas
Divorce
Mushrooms that can kill you
A mushroom named Yoshi
Good names for mushrooms
Cars
Snails
Woodpeckers
Spider webs
How there are many rocks in the trail
How there are sticks in the trail
Lichen and how much we lichen stuff
Why a silent walk can be nice
Every class is a whirlwind, every day is exhausting, and the weeks are flying by. Weird to think that I only have another month here-- I feel like I just moved in! Perhaps I'll post about what I actually do here before I leave, but no promises.
Here's a pic of the waterfall in all it's glory:
