0:00 Welcome to ANI In The Air Under The Tent And Around Baltimore Bay Podcast briefing of all the goings ons, ins and rounds, or tonight is the Bray School.
0:08 So today was a little bit on the cool side, but that really enabled a lot of people to be out. Lots of activity on the field.
0:16 The tetherball is still getting going and one of the nice things about the tetherball is that one can actually just hit it around by yourself and get a little good with hitting it.
0:27 And then people join and then you can go back and forth. So it's a pretty cool thing.
0:34 Still lots of people on the tree swing and the slack line and all sorts of people hanging around the old fallen tree.
0:43 There seems to be a game of hide and seek. All sorts of fun things going on.
0:48 But perhaps the new thing of the day is hanging of a screen in the tent.
0:56 We got this screen that we bungeed to the tent poles and we have confirmed that one can project text onto it and read it from the far end appropriately positioned for the thing.
1:16 And also video with audio works fine. Phil says it's very optimistic, but I think it'll be awesome.
1:29 So we only know when things get used, but you know, certainly there is something there now.
1:39 So that is cool. So this is a farewell Friday. It's been a great week.
1:49 I think it started out hot and then it got cold and we did a little math journey this week.
1:59 On Monday, we computed how many people were doing math at that time.
2:05 And then on Tuesday, Wednesday, kind of delved into a really powerful method for solving all the problems in math.
2:18 And I like to call the hammer method and kind of relating to conventional school versus Sudbury school and all that.
2:28 Wednesday got a little long and Thursday we had a list of resources about math.
2:36 So hopefully you enjoyed it this weekend. I've actually pretty much got my schedule clear to work on math pebbles.
2:45 So hopefully there'll be something cool with that. But I don't know what the weekend. I'm really hoping I've got to get something done with that and see if it all works out and, you know, it's cool.
2:58 All right. Next week. Not sure exactly if I'll do this, but I'm kind of thinking about a whole week about skaters.
3:07 They're about to come out soon. So I figure, why not? Although it is kind of a tired thing by now.
3:15 And I'm not entirely sure what to say about skaters and Sudbury school, but I'll just give a guess as to what will happen.
3:24 Because, yeah, I don't know. It's kind of fun to think about something that only happens every 17 years and the reactions to it.
3:33 But we'll see. I hope you all have a great week and we'll see you when I see you.
