Field Trip to J. H. House Elementary School
Today I met with Joyce Hooper, the principal of J. H. House Elementary School, and Carolyn Poole, the Instructional Lead Teacher to plan a field trip for November 3rd for 37 Georgia State preservice teachers. This is the same group that are working on the Literature Circles EduBlog. We have a great day planned for them. They will be attending a music class that uses the Yamaha Music in Education Technology program. They will be able to sit in a class with one of the greatest Art teachers in Georgia. She uses flex cameras, digital cameras, and really integrates the art lessons into the classroom curriculum. The technology teacher will be teaching them about the Biz Pal program, using Bloom’s technology in the current events curriculum program, and lots of other good things. The administration will explain the unique At Risk program where every child is considered at risk and no child is overlooked. How the needs of the growing ESL population are met will also be a part of the agenda. And my Wrinkles group will be showing off their weblogs and interviewing the preservice teachers at the end of the day. This is going to be a great learning day! You’ll hear more later.
