1 Project Adventure -- movement-based, community building curriculum that will be modified for elementary level. Brings phys. ed. into the content areas and builds community along the way.
2. Garden Project -- if memory serves, two main ideas still floating here: designing curriculum to help the YMCA use their garden to teach kids or working with a school that has or wants a garden to build one or to connect it to their curriculum
3. Student’s Takes on Testing -- Interviewing students to hear what they think about and how they experience high stakes standardized tests.
4. Literacy Program: Book Distribution --working with Ryan D.'s honor society to plan, publicize and carry out a children's book redistribution project which involves collecting books, figuring out what kind of event to have for a giveaway, getting the books there and holding the event.
Please participate in an online discussion helping us to further develop these ideas by posting a comment. You should feel free to post about any of the projects ideas regardless of whether it's the one you plan to sign on to. You can pose questions, work on existing ideas or even post thoughts on new ideas. I will use your comments to get us started next week. Our goal is to have the projects pretty well set and the students signed on to each group by the middle of class next week.
