Thursday is the Big Day!

Welcome letters will be sent home on Tuesday and our first meeting will be Thursday!  With such a short time in between, I can only imagine parents will have questions.  Our first meeting will primarily focus on getting to know each other and focusing on the Cardboard Challenge.  I am asking all children to bring cardboard (whatever is able to be brought to school.) We will be creating cardboard games and other creations, so it will be a pretty opened ended first meeting. 

As far as future meetings, here is a general agenda, as well as my expectations: 

3:50-4:00 Settle in, snacks, and socialization. 

4:00-4:25: Sharing/Instant Challenges

4:25-5:20 Planning and Creative Play

5:20-5:45: Sharing (If students need to leave at 5:30, that is fine, but I would love to have parents be part of the share time.  In the future, I would even love to have family creative time from 5:30-6:00 possibly) 

*There could be times where we will go on field trips or have other themed meetings. 

• I expect kids to come to the meetings excited to learn, take risks, and explore. 
• I expect kids to work together, but also develop self-regulation and independence.
• I expect kids to be the leader sometimes and bring their ideas for projects to the meetings. 
• I expect kids to be inspired by each other! 
• I expect the kids to record their ideas, thoughts, and progress in their Imagination Notebook each week! 
• I expect the kids to respect the materials, Hornung Elementary, and follow the normal expectations of the school environment. 
• I expect this to be one of the most awesome after school activities Brighton has ever expereienced!
