Standing Rock, North Dakota: Saturday was a gorgeous day in North Dakota as Annalies, Ketal and I arrived at Sitting Bull College for a day of PD with teachers from schools in and around the Bismarck area. Twenty-one teachers filled the room at the college and we launched into the process of creating projects that resonated with the groups around issues that are pertinent to the communities. The day flew by punctuated by phenomenal food, provided by the Prairie Dog Cafe. We saw creative examples of a design cycle including the design cycle die and the design cycle dream catcher. Together the teams tackled weather, building a greenhouse, engaging community, creating a quilt, exploring health issues, and examining geothermal energy alternatives. By the close of the day each team presented slide decks of their projects beginning the journey that will bring these projects to life in the classroom.
Back in Bismarck we went out for Annalies' birthday celebration at the Alien Bar & Grille treating ourselves to concoctions such as, Moon-Me Margarita, Bahama Alien Mama, and Alienade. Amazingly we managed to avoid journeying home with Alien t-shirts. But we have pictures.
