The Return of School

The past four days were filled with many challenges, activities, and games. Unfortunately, I did not take any pictures during the activities to give you a better idea of what we are doing. The underlying theme for everything we did in class was "community." With thirty bodies in a portable for 180 days it is inevitable there will be some disagreements and spaces invaded. To bring awareness to this and to reduce the number of conflicts I focus on creating a healthy community for the first several weeks of class. This focus creates an environment for the remainder of the year that is conducive to exploring the curriculum and challenging ourselves. Next week students will begin completing homework on their blogs. Prior to working on them, the students will be given specific details on how to access and update their blogs. In the beginning of using this medium students will not be able to view other student's blogs, as they use the blogs more they will be given more privileges and be able view one anothers. Next week I am hoping a student will be updating this blog. Until then, be well.
