It's August. It's hot in Texas. It's almost time...to go back to school! This year, we have a whole new group...about 75 of us...who will be contributing and commenting in this blog. It will be used as reflecting, responding, and communicating. A brief introduction to who we are this year... Three teachers, 72 kids. We are a multiage, multiyear, project based learning classroom that will focus on capitalizing on our individual learning styles and preferences and strengthening areas we don't feel as strong. This innovative program, based on brain based learning and best practices, will give us the opportunity to develop those 21st century skills that we need in and well past our educational experiences. We are on a learning curve, however. This is a first year for us, so we will be patient, learning what works, what doesn't, and how mistakes lead us to new things we hadn't predicted. Join us... The first bell rings August 22, 2011 at 7:35!
