What is the biggest challenge when handling project work? Teaching kids to pay attention to a deadline when the project is spread over several weeks!
When we started our study of the mystery genre it was November 2 and November 30 seemed like a long time away. "Sure......Mrs. Perrien is telling us to read the book by the 18th and begin our mobile as soon as we're finished....but we have so much time."
Not any more.
This project has been a challenge for some who aren't experienced managing a longer-paced assignment, but everyone is doing okay. We took the whole day today to do project work, first the mobile and second our Michigan History project! As mobiles are being completed they are going on display in the classroom. Please feel free to stop by any time to see everyone's hard work. It's pretty neat to see 25 mobiles hanging in the classroom!
When this work is completed we will reflect on what was challenging about the assignment and what Mrs. Perrien and students can change to improve the assignment.
