OEE

Dealing with our planned community engagement activity with the Marine Science Institute and the Ravenswood School, the Hallmark that I think that is most relevant is Hallmark 4: We Commit Ourselves To Community Service.
During our last class, all three pods met up and we talked about what our main idea is for our engagement activity- community service and/or service learning. Individually for our Frosh Seminar, one of our goals for the class throughout the semester is to see how we learn. By collaborating with the Marine Science Institute- MIT- we can observe how the 4th graders learn and to adapt to the way these kids learn so we may explain things in a way that they would understand if there was something they wanted to know about. Another reason why I think our community engagement activity relates to Hallmark 6, is that we are partnering with a community agency that dedicates their time to service learning. MIT is a non-profit agency that helps bring the sea and Marine life to the children. This Hallmark calls out to me about giving back to the community while being able to learn something from it. 
Yay- I'm done!
