Trip Reflections

Friday March 3

It was our last day at the home and we were able to plan our own activity for the day group residents.  We had face painting, football toss, ring toss, parachute, decorating a sign, and dancing.  The residents really enjoyed every part of the activity.  After lunch we went bowling with a small group of the residents at the local bowling alley.  We all enjoyed interacting and bowling with the residents as a group and a one-on-one basis.  The trip was an overall great experience and the whole group enjoyed the entire week.

 

Spring Term at Alma is a one-month immersion on a single academic topic that offers learning experiences not typically available during the more traditional 15-week fall and winter terms. For example, during Spring Term ‘07 students explored important cultural sites in China, worked to restore a Jewish Holocaust cemetery in Poland, analyzed ethic politics in Scotland, and studied medieval literature in London.
