The madness continues. We're beginning our creative projects based on Africa and Achebe's novel. Kids are going to start making paper mache masks on Friday and are also working with a partner on another project - should be exciting to see the finished displays. I often get these fabulous ideas for class at odd times - the 2:19am trek to the kitchen for juice to calm a child; the 11:45pm restlessness stemming from too much Pepsi; the 6:15am lunch-packing ritual; the 4:32am rocking of a sleepless child. And what is in my head doesn't always work in real life, but the students give it a whirl anyway and I am always impressed by what they create. And I thank them for jumping on board even when they give me the puzzled expressions of "you want us to do what!?"
