Lori's presentation

Hey alleveryone,

I'm writing from home, and I hope this makes it to the blog, b/c my computer is Quirky. Lori did a great job today. She modelled the most courage we've seen in front of the group. I know not a person would dispute her commitment to her kids and to this program. Just like Gina, she has demonstrated perserverance in the face of hardship/difficulty.
That's not to say, we all don't do it.
But these women have had to do it in front of the whole group. Bravo!

Lori's demo was cool. like way cool.

I journalled that third grade through non-traditional college students would love this teaching exercise. Look at how a bunch of teachers responded. it was cool to see the different generations remembering their Villains/ Superheroes. And the trading card concept was way cool, and will be borrowed.

Perhaps the most memorable was her technique for dealing with behavior issues. Can I borrow this, too? Tad


Let's keep up the great work.

I agree with Tad, Lorri's demo was great. I had heard a little bit about Lorri's unit during our interviews and was really happy to get to hear, "the rest of the story". This unit would be great and easily adaptable for many age groups. I know I will use it with my fourth graders next year. It would probably be a great beginning of the year project before reading groups really get started.
You all are bringing in so many neat ideas that I can't wait to get back in the classroom and try them out. Our kids will really benefit this year from us taking being invovled in this program. I know we have all learned so much from each other!
Great Job Lorri! We all enjoyed!

Thank you very much. I am sorry about the mental break down and I hope I did not make anyone feel uncomfortable.
