Inquiry Project: Sustainability
Tuning In...I feel like Costa Ricans will value "going green" becuase of how much natural and diverse vegetation is here. A large part of their environment is also home to the rainforest. I feel like Costa Ricans will be less wasteful and more intune with their surroundings and what they should do to protect it. I am interested in seeing if this is true. I know that in America the green trend is gaining popularity, I would like to see if it is also catching on here, or if it is already established and is just a way of life.
Finding Out...
I hope to find out more about sustainability by observing the people and environments around me and asking questions to local Costa Ricans. I feel like my host families that I stay with will be able to answer my questions the best because they live here and experience it and will be able to give me first hand accounts. I also will probably do research on my own as well by using the internet to find these such a statistics and for more detailed explanations of what I discover.
We had our first school visit this morning. It was alot of fun and I think the kids really enjoyed it. We worked with 5th and 6th graders. We sang "Over in the Jungle", read stories with them, and gave them the opportunity to draw a picture of their very own favorite animal. Afterwards, the cheerleaders performed for us in the gym. They were so good! They had a whole choreography put together and they did it all without music, which I thought was interesting. They were so cute in their little uniforms. Then we were able to have a tour of the school and sit in on a class. It was really neat. The kids and teachers were so nice and all of the students were so excited that we were there. It was really sweet.
Now we are all at CPI working on our Inquiry Projects before lunch.
Pura Vida!
