Reflection- Abbey Kelley Foster Charter School trip

Overall this trip to the Abbey Kelley Foster School was a big accomplishment, I felt like my peers and I were doing something important for these new IB students. I worked well with my other peers, we all worked together talking about our experiences junior year and I realized how much I had actually accomplished during the year. We had a chance to interact with the Abbey Kelly students, answer their questions, what they wanted to know about the IB. I didn't know how beneficial this experience would be to me and my peers, when Mr. Steedman e-mailed us for the oppurtunity. I was able to see that not all other schools have the advantages that Sturgis does, not all students get to receive this kind of education, so it was great to know that these students are going to be able to experience it now. The activity did meet my learning outcomes working collaboratively with others and developing new skills, however I think that this activity also met the 7th outcome, considered ethical implications. I decided to go on this field trip to help these new IB students and help on with thier education, my other peers and I worked well of each other and talked well, we didn't talk over each other or disagree, we all complimented each other. My goals were just about right, my goals for this actvity were to help out Sturgis and the Abbey Kelly School. The activity only lasted one day so no real overbearing difficulties came that I felt like I couldn't do it anymore, but overall I feel accomplished and I actually wish and I don't think that I'm alone in that we could all do it again.
