Celebration

The students wanted to celebrate our human need for love, belonging and friendship. On their own, they planned a celebration and proposed a date, time, and schedule of activities to me. After making a couple of changes to accomodate our learning needs, they shared their plan with the class. The class approved it and more students volunteered to help.

Today, the students executed that plan, all on their own, and what a success it was! Decorations temporarily transformed the classroom, music filled the air, and tables were laden with "food." Students shared fellowship, "danced," ate, and played a couple of games.. Then, after a little less than an hour, the classroom was magically cleaned and quiet and we were off to music.

Hats off to Malachi, Davis, Kaitlynn, and Serena for all their organizing and their ability to work with the many other students, like Elijah, Holly and others who helped. And thank you parents who helped at home. I hope your efforts were as voluntary as they should have been! Many cards were homemade, a trend that is exciting to see. Thank you for your support of your students' continued learning at home.

Have a great weekend!
