Photos from the first day

Hello all,

Today we started the day laying out ground rules and making goals for our time here in Bar Harbor. The students drew a circle (which turned into a rather cute bear, see photo below!) and together we brainstormed a list of qualities that we wanted in our circle, such as creativity, patience and love. We also decided on a few of the things we'd rather leave out, like disrespect and gossip. Afterward, we got out and played a few icebreaker games. In one of the photographs, we are playing a fun game called Evolution.

Then, after a technical talk, we turned the students loose in the Bar Harbor community. Tonight, we'll critique their first assignments. Look for some student photos on the blog soon!
