Starting this week, on Mondays and Tuesdays, Project class transforms into Spanish class! Our class is privileged to have Karen Aenlle, mom to an Aveson Kindergartener, as a Spanish instructor twice a week for Spanish language lessons. Talk to your student to find out what they are learning.
This week we will start developing "Personalized Learning Plans" with each student. In Project class the PLP will focus on student self-efficacy, including time management, work and study skills, and behavior self-management. These areas are very important in helping students develop the self-motivation and self-monitoring that are critical in a project-based learning environment. I will help students identify areas of strength and weakness, and then help them develop two goals to be meet by the student-led conferences and Celebration of Learning.
We are continuing to work on our Explorer Projects in class this week. Our goal is to have projects completed by Monday, 10/5/07. Ask them to tell you about the explorer their project is based on, and what they have completed so far... click on this link to review the checklist they are using in class ...
