So my school is one of three in the county that still does not have power. Our first day was supposed to be Monday, but we've been off and are off again tomorrow. I don't think it makes sense to have us go back for just Friday right before a holiday with Monday off. haha. I have been SOOO excited to get back to work...and we have a whole week off!! I don't know what to do with myself! I want to go in but I don't feel like working in the dark.
So I've been making a lot of visuals. This year our visual arts office is focusing on the 4 C's....Creating, Communication, Critical Thinking, and Collaboration. So I created this poster to display them and I made these awesome cards for each of my three tables. Like mini posters with the definitions of each thing on the back. I think I'm going to have my students pay attention to how they incorporate these 4 C's into their every day life. I'm planning on having a set collaboration time for each project in order for everyone to get some extra ideas or inspiration.
Once they're finished I'm going to take pictures and post them.
I watched this awesome clip about education that just blew me away.
I think I'm going to make a poster that says "If you're not prepared to be wrong, you will never come up with anything original." I think this is an awesome quote for middle school students!!
What are your thoughts??
Curious - where are you located? I know there are many schools delayed, from Vermont to Mass to Virginia etc. It stinks. You are right about this "little" hurricane. Not so little.
ReplyDeleteOne more thing - you asked about my jewelery selling and I'd rather not answer on the blog. If you email me at plbrown3@yahoo.com I'll send you an answer, or else just leave your email address in a comment or something. I couldn't find one on your profile.
