After a well-deserved spring break, the LCS crew met back at the classroom. It was great to see everyone again. At the beginning of class we went around to listening to everyone share what they did over their break. It was nice hearing how so many people were able to travel to other countries and perform volunteer work and how others were able to visit the family members. After sharing stories, we began to discuss our healthy aging projects. We formed our group and informed the class that we had initially wanted to do a vegetable garden but later decided to do something more personalized in the form of decorating masonry jars with succulent plants inside or maybe even herbs and spices. We thought this would be a great intergenerational activity for the seniors and us to take part in. We also planned on doing this activity at multiple sites. After presenting our HAP we were excited to hear about the other groups plans for their projects as well. One project that really stood out to me was the group that will be collecting different recipes from the seniors and doing some type of cooking based of the senior’s recipes. I think this is a great idea because not only does it allow for more social interactions but it also allows us to experience some of their culture through food and who doesn’t like food. The last portion of the class we all met up Prof. to give them more details about our healthy aging project. I thought this was a great resource because we were able to get additional insight on how to go about getting certain things done within our project and also we got some good contact information. All in all it was a joyous and productive day back in class.
