This week, we are enthusiastic to learn about the art, artistry, and passions of our peers during our artifact and demonstration projects on Tuesday, September 15. Final drafts of the narrative assignment as well as presentation of some kind of artifact which demonstrates the art will be due at the beginning of class on Tuesday. Directions for these activities can both be found in our newsletter last week.
Starting Wednesday, we will be reading and writing about peacefulness, as the UN declared International Day of Peace is September 21. After reflecting on our roles in peace in our school, our homes, and our community, students will be expected to create an art/fun activity which teaches peacefulness and conflict resolution to their peers or other ORAA students. Points will be awarded during this week's classwork on thoughtful self-reflection, creativity of activity, and efficacy of teaching peace/conflict resolution. Jupiter grades is already being loaded daily, please check there for grades if you have questions.
One small note for Friday is that we'd like all middle school students to wear black tshirts. We are going to make a school-wide peace sign and the littler kids are going to be wearing rainbow colors. Our group will make the actual sign in the middle of the circle and needs to be bold.
Finally, I have stopped posting the lesson plans in the google drive as they are now available by Moodle. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I wish you all a very peaceful week and I look forward to seeing you soon!
