one of my favorite things to do in teaching is to venture off into discovery-ville with the kids. NOT being the "expert" on something makes it so much more of a community journey with them...one that we all retain so much more. granted...i, of couse, have to learn as much about something as i can beforehand...well, "get to learn" is more of the truth.
so this semester, i get to teach an elective for my junior highers, and i'm soooo excited. when i asked them about the things they were interested in, i got a massive list. so cool! some of my boys actually want to learn how to sew a pillow...that was a shocker! haha! others wanted sign language, spanish, career planning, first aid...it went on and on. so...we are going to go for it!! i'm going to invite the pro's in for the things i can't grab onto...but we are definitely going to give it a shot...and maybe even sew an awesome pillow!!! :)
wish me luck!
