Hear Ye, Hear Ye:
News Update!!
The Renaissance Faire has been rescheduled for Tuesday, June 10th, from 2:00-3:00. All are invited.
In the past 22 years of teaching, I have rarely, if ever, altered a due date. However, this time I feel I must. The Navigators and Explorers have missed many Social Studies classes due to the music rehearsals, choir and "revised rescheduled" schedules, in-service days and federal holidays. It's been an incredibly busy few weeks. In addition, we have had more than our fair share of technical difficulties with the school printers. Ahh, never a dull moment here in the classroom.
After careful consideration, I feel in all fairness to the classes, I will reschedule the due dates to Tuesday. All Navigator and Explorer students have been working so incredibly hard on their research papers, project boards, Michelangelo reproductions (which they did by lieing on their backs and drawing under their desks on the piece of paper scotch taped to the underside of the desk, their PowerPoint presentations and their pastel Medieval and Renaissance paintings.
Please note that only the research paper and the display board are required from the Navigators. The Explorers have their research paper, display board, Michelangelo reproductions, and their pastel pictures. Many are also doing their PowerPoint presentation. There is a lot of learning going on. I am very impressed with both classes' dedication with these in-class assignments. The days are exhausting but wonderful nonetheless. Each day different students tell me something new that they have learned about their student interest generated research paper topic. I love learning something new each day and my students do too!
I certainly hope you will be able to join us a week from today when we can teleport you back in time to the Middle Ages and then into the Renaissance. It will be a wonderful journey!!
