I am having an absolutely fabulous time. My team mates are great, my participants are excellent and we are on the beautiful island of Grenada. We had a little bit of a change to the team this week. Poor Owen had to fly home as his father in-law was hospitalized and Dave left Team Grenada to take Owen’s place on team Carriacou. Grenada consists of three islands, one being Carriacou where Owen and Melissa were conducting leadership and management workshops. So now team Grenada consists of the three ladies. It was a bit of a world wind day as we found out about the changes at lunch and at 6pm we met Owen getting off the ferry and sent Dave away on the ferry back. We wish Owen’s father in-law a speedy recovery.

My math workshop is going really well. I have an amazing group of enthusiastic teachers to work with. You should have seen their participation the other day in the math Olympics. The other sessions were envious of our events. We paraded the “athletes” through the courtyard singing a Math Olympic song about hoping you brought your meter stick and get ready for the cotton ball put and the paper plate discuss throw or the lima bean blow all to the tune of “we will rock you” and then they did a Calypso version. It was evident that the math participants were having fun while learning.

It’s been straws made out of fractions, fractions using paper folding, MATHO, sandpaper numbers and much more. My group consists of teachers from kindergarten to grade 12 so that makes things interesting when it comes to planning.

We were fortunate to visit the fish fry Friday night and witness the local calypso competition. Saturday we had an island tour and we were able to swim at a waterfall.

There are tons of photos to check out and there are a variety of themes within hit the slideshow option and sit back and enjoy. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
