Work commute
Note
We are seeking volunteers to help out with some of our fall youth events, to round out our staff on some of the busiest days. Of particular interest: Wednesdays in October. We'd also love to have master teachers or master coaches willing to observe and give feedback to improve the skills of our staff.

Note
I enjoyed working with Adam and Evalin yesterday. We had two sets of kids from an after-school program at Dana Park. We did Animal-O, but tried adding in the levels concept, and the response was very good, even among the older kids who have done orienteering classes for a while.
There were still some lines and I think it would be nice to have them be able to get through those faster. Things that would help include writing the name (or some picture representation) of the level on the punch card / passport, having them wear their punch card or otherwise having a smoother system for getting the card back to the beginning (a board that they put it on themselves?), putting the answers on their passport (the sequence of numbers they should have), teaching them to check their own answers printout. Of course, even cooler would be to have an app that runs the whole thing without the printouts. In summary, we need to be able to do it with fewer adults.
We need more 5-animal cards.
Even though we were prepared with a written plan, I found I was still ad-libbing quite a lot. Our lesson plans for classes starting next week have a lot more detail, so it will be interesting to see whether it feels like we are more prepared.
I think there were a couple kids who may sign up for the afterschool class (this is registration week, and we are just providing day care this week), because they had fun yesterday. And one kid was interested in having Navigation Games at his birthday party.
Love working with our staff.
