Hello all!
This past week was a little crazy. First we had a great anti-bullying organization called Connecting the Dots come to our school and do a work shop with every grade level that focuses on the concept that we are all basically the same and that life is about positive relationships with one another. There were lots of activities that made students get out of their comfort zones by partnering with other students they don't usually talk to. The last activity was emotional for a lot of students because it involved sharing out some difficult things going on in their lives but I was proud to see them being honest and genuinely caring for one another.
Since this workshop pulled out different grade levels on different days it made my classes pretty small for most of the week which is great but hard to complete a lesson plan. So, I decided to show The Book of Life. This movie honors El Dia De Los Muertos (The Day of the Dead) in a funny, educational and positive way. It educates students on other cultures but it also showed what it meant to be a good friend and an even better person to your family and community.
Overall, another great week here at Ranum!
