Global Campus Moretown Fall Term 2011!!!

For many this is their first time attending a Global Campus class. The environment is loose, fun, and full of banter. Many classes consist of throwing celebratory parties with cake and potlucks. For the times when we are not celebrating we start by gathering in a group common area to pass a Talking Stick and share events of the past week. We then proceed into the actual class where faculty from Global Campus get up and teach the rest of us a little something about their hobbies and lifestyles. Classes usually last from 1 - 2:30 so that there is time to fit everything in. Global Campus always welcomes new participants and looks forward to the experience of meeting new people. - By Lee Willsey Potter

GC Randolph Reflects on their Fall Term 2011!

We learned about the Tunbridge Fair from Vicki at the Library. In Edie's Talking Books classes we switched to a new story about a chimpanzee living with a family, it is great! Rick taught us about bowling and we learned the inside of the ball is made of hard plastic. Missy showed us how to set a table with laminated placemat diagrams in her Basic Table Setting class.

The VT state butterfly is the monarch and the tree is a maple. That was from Edie and Vicki's State Symbols class. Dan gave a drumming demonstration and played along with ACDC.

Kathi, Cheryl and Joe taught us about fall leaves and how to make a collage with them. Everyone at MENIG liked Rena and Justin's class on Baseball Bingo. We learned baseball terms like infield, outfield, and innings. Jonathan taught us what VDOTU stands for in his TV show class and we learned more songs in Theme Song Trilogy.

We made a Full Value Contract that says how we should treat each other at our campus and we all signed it. Our theme is Building Community and we made a map of our community with all the connections we have, like where we live and work. We also invited guest speakers from the community to teach at our campus in the Spring Term. It's our campus!
