Thanks to Ellen Dorsey for connecting us with the Berlin Elementary School teachers and students! We went last Friday to talk with students that have been doing Genius Hour (which is like mini Pilot for one hour a week). Hopefully we will be able to meet them one or twice more this school year to talk with them about their projects. Noah did a little DEEP aerobics practice with them, you can see here. Right after this, in a moment of knowing that my message has been passed on, Karli and Izzy told the kids a little more about their relationship to personalized learning. Karli let them in on a secret, that when you’re learning about the things that you care about, you’re really just learning about yourself and they ways that you are good at learning. Izzy chimed in to add that it’s really important to know who you are, to understand your passions and what is important to you. Learn about those things that matter. That was their message. I excitedly sat in the back room thinking... my work is done! But of course it isn’t really. We have finalized our semester 2 exhibition schedule and there three weeks until exhibition season begins! And we have a new class of Pilot students ready to join us next year. A couple other things to look out for before then:
And now, for the fast track to the end of the school year. Enjoy the ride.
