There was a lot of activity details and plans to go over in class on Thursday. I'm glad we got it done (or at least partly done.) Don't forget the lists you made on your yellow sheets of paper! You have responsibilities!!
Don't forget these dates:
May 9th - Shakespeare play
May 21st - Field Day
You all need to be there to support each other and fulfill your roles. You are leaders now : )!!! Go forth and conquer.
Also, Teacher Genevieve acquainted you with the Edison Project class. And yes, you get to partake in a mini-version of it! I loved the excitement and ideas you put forth when she presented this.
This week you had homework - to fill out your goal planning sheet. Do NOT be afraid to THINK BIG!! You never know where it will lead you!
Also, you need to read (or at least it was strongly suggested that you do read) the book, The Element, by Ken Robinson. Check your library, if you haven't already done so. If you read it, I believe Teacher Genevieve said it would count as two assignments needed for the fancy party ticket!
Lastly, you need to plan to attend some kind of leadership meeting. A city council meeting is perfect in this instance. You will see firsthand how a meeting works (much like your Red Tie Club meeting.) You will see that being a leader isn't always glamorous.
We are planning to attend a Tacoma City Council meeting this month. They meet on Tuesdays. We will probably aim for the 19th.
If you want to attend your local city's meeting. Get on their website and find the time and location and just show up! So simple!!! And I believe they love an audience : ).
Hannah and Paige, on Thursday we will finish up your self debates.
