DuceCrypto's Actifit Report Card: December 18, 2023

Monday, December 18, was a very busy day for me, but alas, I left my fitbit at home charging and missed out on recording about 8K steps based on estimates from other teachers. Why so busy?

Because it was our 6th grade field trip to the world-famous American Museum of Natural History! I was assigned a group of six students to chaperone on the trip, which included boarding a subway two blocks from school and transferring trains across the platform when we go to Manhattan. My kids were rock stars and followed directions well all day. While we were exiting the subway station at the museum, I snapped off a bunch of pictures of the gorgeous tile work in the underground hallway.

We braved a heavy rain to commute to the museum, and thank goodness we had a dedicated side entrance to the museum for schools because the main line was long. Here is a picture of the front entrance first and then side entrance.

There is so much to do and see at the museum, so we focused on three core exhibits: Dinosaurs, Human Origins, and Gemstones.

There are some really amazing dinosaur fossils and skeletons reconstructed at the museum, as well as other prehistoric and ancient animals that are now extinct. Check it out:

From there, we moved into the origins of humans. This exhibit showed some Neanderthal skeletons and depicted what ancient human life could have been like.

We finished our viewing part of the trip with a visit to the hall of gemstones. We learned about the different mines around the world where some of the rare gems can be found. We also got to see a huge slice of petrified wood and a rare geode from South America!

We took a quick spin through the museum gift shop, but nobody in my group brought any money to buy gifts. I did see this cute stuffed moon and sent it to my partner because I miss her already. And there were a few other T-shirts that caught my eye.

We made great time getting back to our school campus in Brooklyn, and the subway cars were less packed than during our morning commute. After the students were dismissed for the day, I had to hustle over to my dentist for a tooth cleaning before I left town for the holidays. Good news -- my smile is looking cleaner and whiter than before!

As a reward for a hard day's work, I treated myself to some dim sum -- spicy wontons in peanut sauce and juicy pork and crab buns.

On my walk back home, I snapped off one more picture of Brooklyn's fabulous street art, this one from the Williamsburg neighborhood. And just like that, I was home by 7 pm and in bed by 8 pm. I was exhausted and well deserved a good night sleep. Shame, I only registered 6k steps instead of the 14K I actually walked. But whatever the reality, I put in a good shift today. I hope you all enjoyed all the museum content! Back to our regularly scheduled school programming tomorrow. Cheers!
