Working together 2 make a difference

Educators working collaboratively

Anyone from Alden who made it on here (I believe Mrs. Regdos, Miss Weisbeck, Mrs. MC, Mrs.Nelson):

Hi! This is Sarah. I just wanted to make sure you made it on here. I tried to send you an email, but it didn't work. Well, now that you know what this sponsorship is, I have an idea. Last year for my religion, my class went to the Alden Meals on Wheels and made Easter paper bags for their meals. Maybe, if I had the chance to go to the headquarters (old Geofannos), we could make Christmas cards to share the holiday cheer/ help the community. Now, this might not work, but if it did, I'd need four things: a room to work in one day after school, how many recipients there are, construction paper (or computer paper, but I think construction paper's better), and markers. I believe there would be around a hundred to make, but probably less. We'd need to make an announcement, too, something like, "Come join in holiday spirit in room ____ on _______ the _____. Bring friends and have fun making holiday cards for Meals on Wheels!" I don't think we'd need a sign-up sheet, but then again, I'm not a teacher, and I'm not even sure if it's a good idea! And, probably to make more people come, (=D) I could make some cookies or something! So, let me know if you have any ideas, too!

P.S. My website is sarahirene.wordpress.com, if you would like to see more of what I do!

P.P.S. Mrs. Stockman might also have some tips/ ideas for us if we friend her!

Thanks again for joining/ helping!

Thank you, Mrs. MC! (Which is why I added teachers like you on here!) That's a lovely plan! I was thinking, we could probably do something for Thanksgiving, too, like a canned food drive. I know we did something like that in middle school. What do you think? As soon as the other teachers join, I can elaborate (and we can collaborate) more on this.

P.S. And thank you, Mrs. Stockman! Tell Laura I saw her blog post & I subscribed to her website. =D

Sarah - what about organizing a campaign where advisements made cards. We did that a few years ago for the soldiers in Iraq. I think that would be a creative way to get cards from all over the school. I know I could get kids in my advisement to participate ( and they are seniors!!!) You would definately get a great response....we could talk about how to phrase it and why we're doing this....

Sarah--I think this is a great idea, and if you do this after school sometime, Laura and I would even be happy to join you. Be sure to take some pictures and blog about what you do here so that others can see. Let us know how we can help you as you begin getting started here. You are a great kid, you know that?

Oops! You might need to type in http://sarahirene.wordpress.com in order for it to work! And, if you read this, Mrs. Stockman, do you think it's a good idea?

What I love about our set up is that it allows for direct questions to the poet. Please walk me through the creation of this poem.

"When we read poetry we gain insight. When those poems come from all over, we broaden our view of what frightens us, what makes us happy, what makes us sad, what we love, and what we can do to make a difference." EXACTLY. This is what inspired me...

These simple things make everyone's day a bit brighter and the load that they carry a bit lighter. It also means the world to us when someone shows that they care enough to help. This is inspiring, Erik. I hope you will continue sharing here!

I wonder how YOU felt while you were doing these things, Daniel. I'll bet that doing small things that help others brings you a lot of happiness too. In so many ways, giving to others is a way of making our own lives better too. You should be very...

It sounds like you've done an amazing job motivating your class. I'd love to see their Glogs -is there any way some of them could be linked here?
