A great day

After yesterday’s disaster I was hoping that today would be different – and I wasn’t disappointed. Dana Perino, President Bush’s press secretary, started the speaker series today, followed by Ted Koppel and Clarence Page from the Chicago Tribune. While some of the students found Koppel “boring” I found his knowledge fascinating. Clarence Page was extraordinary [...]
Bonas Students Are The Best

As I sat reading the student’s posts from last night it makes me think about how we view our students and children. I tend to be overly critical of my own children and my students - expecting them to hit these very high standards that, I must admit, at times might be unreasonable. We tend to compare [...]

It is 6 AM on our second day and I am finally finding time to post about yesterday. The internet is running very slowly at the hotel so I’m having problems uploading videos and pictures. Hopefully I will be able to take care of that problem tonight.
As the students have noted in their posts, we [...]
Introduction Video

Here is a video of the students introducing themselves. This is nothing more than a great example of why I should never be allowed to videotape anything. Hopefully my videotaping skills will improve as the week progresses! I’m also assuming the students will get a little more comfortable with me sticking a camcorder in their [...]

We all arrived safety (some wishing they had not chosen to drive). The day was filled with traveling and getting settled. Here is a picture of the group taken tonight.
The program starts tomorrow and we will be leaving the hotel at 7:15 AM. The morning session starts at 8:15. Check back tomorrow. We should have [...]

I am trying to get ready to leave for D.C. tomorrow morning and the snow keeps falling. This might make for a very interesting 6 hour drive. I also thought I would try posting a video and see how that works before I leave. Hope you enjoy seeing the snow-covered cars in my driveway!
