Week 6: Cheesesteaks and Archives

Connor Day

The weeks keep going by faster and faster, but we are having a lot of fun and staying busy! On Saturday morning, I drove myself, Brean, Aman, and Max up to Philadelphia to spend the day. We met up with Brean’s boyfriend Hendrik at their school, Drexel University, and they showed the rest of us around Philly.

Week 6: Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here

I played tour guide for the weekend as my family drove down on Friday to visit me and do some sight-seeing. On Saturday, we briefly stopped by Capitol Hill and then went to the Museum of the American Indian. I had seen the New York edition of the museum the weekend before, so I was very interested to see the differences.

Week 6: Time for Recess

Drew Roberts

A restful weekend was much needed. After four busy in-session weeks, I had a quiet weekend before my last week of the summer which would have Congress out of session. This gave me the opportunity to read, relax, and most importantly, catch up on sleep. I knew that this weekend and recess week would be the time for a short rest, before a busy 4th of July weekend and 4 more weeks of being in session.

Connor, Aman, Max, and myself all headed up to the city of brotherly love this Saturday! Since they had all never been to Philadelphia, my boyfriend and I had to chance to show them around.

Week 5: Praise be to SCOTUS

Drew Roberts

Last weekend, a group of good friends from UNC drove up to visit. It was great to spend some time with friends from home and act as tour guide while I showed them all of my favorite parts of DC. We ate at great restaurants, visited cool exhibits, and spent time just exploring. Fitting so much

Week 5: Don't Hate the Player, Hate the Game

The weekend often provides a couple days of relaxation to recharge for the week ahead. For better or for worse, this anecdote did not remotely apply to mine.

Week 5: The Middle

Patrick Mangan

Like the fourth week, the fifth week has gone a little slow. For my work, I continued updating the PTRA documents. These updates included noting where the NGSS should be taken into account for lesson plans, as well as converting some of the lesson plans to the 5-E format. Educators and school districts across the U.S. are moving toward both the NGSS and the 5-E method as their preference for teaching science, so my work using them marks the future of education.
