3
00:00:13.099 --> 00:00:18.650
where you get to do the study of South
Carolina and I'm very passionate about

4
00:00:18.650 --> 00:00:22.999
the state of South Carolina my
connection with the South Carolina

5
00:00:22.999 --> 00:00:30.649
Aquarium began many years ago I was just
had begun teaching at Mountain View

6
00:00:30.649 --> 00:00:35.660
Elementary School and heard about the
South Carolina Aquarium accepting

7
00:00:35.660 --> 00:00:42.650
applications for the ELP program or the
education leadership partnership and the

8
00:00:42.650 --> 00:00:46.700
rest is history I've been serving as the
education leadership partner with the

9
00:00:46.700 --> 00:00:53.270
aquarium for over 19 years now every
time I come to the aquarium as an

10
00:00:53.270 --> 00:00:59.510
education leadership partner we go on
different adventures and we will be with

11
00:00:59.510 --> 00:01:06.740
educators or scientists the researchers
and that brings spark back to my

12
00:01:06.740 --> 00:01:13.219
classroom and I'm excited and passionate
about it so that carries over to my

13
00:01:13.219 --> 00:01:18.170
students and it also brings in the real
world into the classroom living in

14
00:01:18.170 --> 00:01:24.229
northern Greenville County some of my
students had never even been to the

15
00:01:24.229 --> 00:01:29.760
ocean but because we teach the regions
of South Carolina and we

16
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:35.160
that connection that the rivers that are
near our school will travel to the

17
00:01:35.160 --> 00:01:41.160
Atlantic Ocean when we visited the South
Carolina Aquarium we were able to see

18
00:01:41.160 --> 00:01:47.460
the harbor and to see the mouth of the
Atlantic Ocean and when we came through

19
00:01:47.460 --> 00:01:53.310
and saw the amazing animals that live
there then they have gained a greater

20
00:01:53.310 --> 00:02:00.990
appreciation for how the ocean is such a
big part of our world and that even in

21
00:02:00.990 --> 00:02:06.360
northern Greenville County we can do
things to save the ocean by keeping the

22
00:02:06.360 --> 00:02:16.700
rivers and the waterways clean Wow

South Carolina preparing
