SOME STUFF FROM STEPHANIE
|
Thanks to all the kids that contributed to build our new mobile computer lab! Our goal was for each child to earn $10 for reading over the summer. With 180 kids last semester, we had hoped to earn $1,800 to start buying laptops and software to enhance our classes! But these kids really went out of their way to help us out! As of 9/30/09, the kids have collected $2,926!!! We will start to see the new laptops in October and November. Congratulations and THANK YOU to all the kids that have helped us so far! If you still have earnings to send in, we are still accepting funds, but we'll start planning and shopping now!
Thank You:

| SPOTLIGHT ON: DESIGN STUDIO WITH KRIS DOYLE |
This semester we invented a new class called The Design Studio. Inspired by Dan Pink's newest book A Whole New Mind, the class involves many teachers and many design experiences. The idea is that the skills that brought success in the past are not the only skills that will be necessary in our future. Design is a whole new area where many opportunities will emerge! We need cars to be redesigned, cell phones, electronics, homes, shoes - you name it! Design is one of the new skills that will be a significant force in our future. To introduce the idea of design, the students have started out working with Master Costumer Whiz Kris Doyle! Kris has costumed many of our own theatrical events and other theatrical events. She showed the kids how new costumes can be made from treasures found at 2nd hand stores, taught basic pattern design and reading, basic costume design on paper and more! The costumes are almost complete - just in time for Halloween! Next, we will move on to interior design where the students will learn all about styles of furniture and the basics of layout before they design their own room and create a swatch board of fabrics, furniture styles, trims and more that would be used in their perfect room! With our new computer lab, the Design Studio will be able to go technical next semester! Come check it out! |
