Ms. Zoë and I are so excited to have launched our big fall project today! In an unprecedented collaboration, we are doing a massive project with the art and engineering kids grade 2nd through 5th! Ms. Zoë and I were lucky to have been sent to check out the Maker Faire in the Bay Area last May and came back with so many ideas but the one that stood out the most was Tapigami! Invented by artist Danny Schieble, it's a massive scale work of art created with tape! It's also a community project and he invites visitors to add to his tape city. We had a great Skype conversation with him this morning with all 220 kids that will be working on this project until late October. Want to know more? Click on the links above!
The beginning of the year always leads me to think about big ideas and goals for the year and what I want the kids to really walk away with from our time together. I was reading an article and came across a short YouTube video that sums up everything I believe and think about when I interact with our students every day. Cindy Foley so clearly sums up the importance of the mindset that I am trying to foster. Take a minute and watch!
