Stemersion Day 3

Daily Activities

Today, people from the City of Dayton Department of Water came and talked to us about things like water quality and water career paths. There were five different stations, all talking about different information: water quality, CCTV crew, drain murals, City of Dayton water, and water career paths. My personal favorite was the career path presentation because each of the presenters were really passionate about their jobs. This is a picture of the packet that they gave us about the different careers and education paths to get there. Although we didn't really go into nature today, I enjoyed learning about everything and it really opened my eyes to alternative career paths that I could be interested in.

After we finished with the presentations, we wrote a poem in the form of The Apple Pie That Papa Baked. We worked as groups and each made one line of the poem with an object and two adjectives to describe it. Mine was about rocks. When everyone was finished with their parts, we lined them all up and planned how each object connected to the other. Here is our final product.

This is the drain, metal and enduring, which flows over the rocks, rugged and grey, that form the sand, course and grainy that holds the plants, lively and plentiful that feed the fish, luminescent and scaly that swim in the creek, calm and directing that flows in my backyard.

These are the roads, cracked and eroded, that lead to the drain, metal and enduring, which flows over the rocks, rugged and grey, that form the sand, course and grainy that holds the plants, lively and plentiful that feed the fish, luminescent and scaly that swim in the creek, calm and directing that flows in my backyard.

This is the rain, heavy and cool, which falls onto the roads, cracked and eroded, that lead to the drain, metal and enduring, which flows over the rocks, rugged and grey, that form the sand, course and grainy that holds the plants, lively and plentiful that feed the fish, luminescent and scaly that swim in the creek, calm and directing that flows in my backyard.

As always, we finished the day with an hour of yoga, shown in the picture at the top.
