Keep it Coming

Busy, busy, busy. Those words define my life. I attribute an abnormal amount of my stress to my difficulties in lesson planning. For instance, writing plans on a nightly basis does not benefit my sanity; it also detracts from peripheral improvements to my classroom as well as extra-curriculars, namely SHELYB FEST ’06. Please buy a t-shirt. Your contribution will go a long way to the success of this event and a phenomenal thanks to those of you who have already picked up an iconic piece of Delta paraphernalia.

Today we secured some funding to implement carnival style booths at Shelby Fest. We are actively encouraging other TFA-ers to assemble a festival activity to be built and implemented by their students. It encourages problem solving, motivation, and student investment and will make the festival well…more of a festival. The funding came from another enterprising Delta teacher who has been aggregating funds to support student centered community events. Through the Delta Action Coalition we are able to offer $25 to teachers who are willing to participate. Use the unbridled creativity of your students…how about sack races, face painting, bracelet making, water balloon toss…the imagination is limitless.
