Wow!

Did all of that really just happen? It is still surreal that our students placed first! We had SO much fun this past week, but everyone learned a lot and worked very hard. I am anxious for them to put the final scores up so that we can see how the points worked out. I know that it was very close, and the other teams did a great job on their presentations. The ladies from Haughton were so poised and knowledgeable, and very nice and outgoing. The team from NCHS had some very creative posters, and did such a nice job. The Bossier team included so much information in so little time. Their videos were really cute as well. Huntington had a really cute song at the beginning of theirs, and their students had great stage presence. They were really funny! Parkway had this cute video that sortof parodied all of the crime dramas. It was cute, and must have taken forever to put together. As an educator, this week made me excited to see all of the students from all of the teams listening in class and working so hard on their projects. I think the whole week was a success!

Now we get to go take the big check and trophy to the school to give them to Dr. McCalla! Woot! Hopefully someone will post pictures of us with those somewhere!

Sweet Victory!

All of our hard work and late nights payed off! The entire team was soooo excited that we were even in the top 2! Winning 1st was just the icing on the cake! I don't think we really expected it at all but it's pretty awesome! Thanks to everyone for all your support and for reading about our camp experience, we all really appreciate it! I think I can speak for myself and everyone when I say that we truly had a fun time, learned a lot, and became a little family =) Love you guys!

Some Videos

Here are two videos. The first is the first-half of our team's presentation earlier today. The second is the out-takes from it.

I'll post a longer entry later after I've had a chance to catch up on some sleep. Enjoy the videos.

We won!

Somewhat unexpectedly, we got first place. The kids worked SO hard on the presentation. I'll post the video components for everyone to watch when we get back to Shreveport.

Lets rock this!

Well we have had a pretty good day! Mangham, Jessie, and I got to get out today for a bit and shop which was fun! We have all been working on the presentation pretty much all day and its coming along great! The entire team is SUPER STOKED about tomorrows presentation! We miss Daryl though! =(

We did really well today. We handled the crime scene perfectly. We made a really big improvement over last night. I'm really confident in our team. And Lauren is totally hooked on Delaware. I'll supply her but morally I should think of cutting her off.......I'm not.

It's Calling my name..

Today was definitely better than yesterday. Our time spent with the crime scene was tiring, yet fun. We had a lot to do and I think we actually enjoyed it all. I can safely that we all feel comfortable with our performance so far in the camp. My concern is steadily growing, however. As we all know, Delaware Punch makes everything better, but I really hope its death grip over us maintains enough looseness to let us function properly for our remaining days here. Maybe it's calling your name as well...
