Monday morning
Today we completed our letter to our Districts for technology advancement. Having students bring their own devices is a cultural transition. The fears in the communities are genuine, worries about children being exposed to child predators, addictions to technology do rob children from their play times and parents want to be in charge WHEN they feel that their child is ready to tackle the world of technology. Lot of real issues and hurdles to overcome in the technology advancement.
Today we finished producing a practice movie. And today Hope and I went on an adventure, creating our own FlatStanley story. We want to prepare a story in spanish so we could use with our students and have them create their adventure with him when school starts. It took us a while with thinking about what we wanted to cover, considering the level of Spanish that our students are learning. We went to the library, the footbal stadium (outside), we walked over to the Barnes and Nobles and actually left him on a counter and had to run back to get him. It was hot today. Then we took him to Subway to have lunch and we helped him to go home in an envelope at the Post Office.I cant wait to download the videos and work on the speaking and music part.
After lunch we worked on our lesson plans. I changed mine to music, I want to cover music this year with my second year students and holidays with my first year students.
We are finishing the day with art.
