I have not posted for a little over a week, due to a wonderful vacation in Southern Utah.  I saw some amazing landscapes, beautiful wild flowers, and diverse wild life.  The first few days off the vacation were spent high in the Rocky Mountains near a small lake.  Then we went to Lake Powell where I finally got up on water skis, and jumped of a few cliffs.  The red rock canyons of Lake Powell show of millions of years of geological history.  On my Vacation I also picked up a new hobby.  Geocaching has caught  my attention and has become my new passion.  Geocaching  is the world wide game  of hide and seek using  a GPS.  Little Treasures are hidden throughout the world  and using a website  people post the location ,  and using these posting we find locations near where we are visiting and go find the treasure.  I’m in the process off developing a plan of how to use this great activity and bring it into the classroom.  I will post a few articles over the next few weeks that will give ideas on how to use our vacations and summer experiences  in the classroom.
