DR Trip Day 4

Today at DREAM started with lesson prep for 45 minutes then it was game on. Today’s lessons feature four stations - an overview of the scientific method, mixing solids with water, mixing liquids with water, and simulating the effects of pollution by putting trash into water and seeing the results. They did a full rotation with two groups of kids - so they taught their lesson 8 times! The kids were amazing - teaching science to young kids - in Spanish! This is such a great thing - it’s why we came! Definitely check out Ms. Police’s Twitter @monomoyguidance - she posted a video. (can also check @monomoyhoff and @monomoydickson) They can’t wait to teach more lessons to the same kids tomorrow. 

 After lunch at DREAM again - fish!   - then off to Sosua for our snorkeling adventure. We saw hundreds of fish on three coral mounds before heading back in - they all tried it, but a few got seasick on the way in - the waves were a bit lumpy. We then spent an hour on Susua Beach - a beautiful stretch with a lot of vendor huts to check out. 
After getting home and showering, everyone was fully recovered for dinner - fish again! with a few opting for the chicken option. And now, after our debrief and a card game for some, they are all tucked in and (almost) asleep for the night. (We have been following a 10pm in your room curfew).
