Shortly afterwards we were given some downtime to work on our presentations, we finalised everything and figured out what we were going to say. During our prep time a fire alarm went off in the building but it was just a false alarm so we were soon back to prep time. The presentation went smoothly and we finished it just inside the 3 minute requirement.
We used the afternoon to do some observations in the middle schools to get a feel of what the process is like in the years before high school. I went down to Anthony Conwright's class again to observe his lesson and to gain more knowledge about how things are done at HTMMA. I also used the rest of the afternoon to plan a schedule for Friday and for the next week. I aim to do some more classroom observations and go and visit some different buildings around the campus.
