Week 12: Nov. 17 - 20

I have definately noticed that as I have been working on my own level of creativity I have allowed myself to release the control that I had always had to have and let the students have more control and influence on the activities/ projects that we have delved into. I would teach something in maybe a creative way, but I had not allowed the student's creativity play a major role in the past. I have tried to develop lessons that have encouraged that and though it does not always work the way that I would have hoped, I am definately better at developing student oriented tasks than I was at the beginning. I still need a lot of work and will continue to stretch my own creative mind as I do with my kids.
