I was asked the other day about how I was feeling about the upcoming year, and my response surprised even me, though it also captured a notion that has been growing in my mind for some time: I am the most optimistic I’ve ever felt coming into a new school year.
This is great! I have also been designing a similar activity for my fifth-graders for our first week of school. Great minds think alike! I love your slides and the examples you have used. With your permission, I would love to incorporate your name story examples into my own activity. Thank you for sharing!
Adrian, that means so much coming from you! I've been loving your posts; the line "About six weeks before school starts, I become a wastrel," was maybe my favorite line of the entire summer, as it got right to the core of how I feel this time of year.
You can absolutely incorporate anything from the name story in your own activities. I was admittedly nervous about sharing that one, as I often like to try activities before sharing them publicly, but it just feels like a new approach is so important this year, so I decided to put it out there. I hope it helps, and in the meantime, thank you so much for reading, connecting, and all the amazing work you are doing!
