So another jam-packed day!! I just finished googling -- is that an official verb in the English language now? -- different ways to make jester's hats out of paper (from construction-paper-glue-and-scissors to origami) I'll have to run them by my GT teacher to see what she thinks will work best for our kids time-constraints and skill-base (and I'll have to make sure I can make it first!!)
So other than a intro-visit from the associate dean of students, and a tour of the library, today was another combination of class and prep for camp. Unfortunately CC is upgrading some of the technology in their classrooms over the summer, so right now our Shakespeare room has wires running all over... which meant that we couldn't get as much done (frustrating!) Hopefully they finished today and will be gone tomorrow. The most interesting part of my day was learning about the theory of Multiple Intelligences (Google it if you want to know!) which I feel will be incredibly helpful in creating lesson plans that will cater to many different ways of learning.
After class we were invited to a bbq put on by the graduating MAT students to pass on their knowledge. I should have taken notes because we got a ton of information.. kind of an unofficial survival guide. There were some pretty horrible stories, but at least we are forewarned! And it helped prepare us for some of the.... lets say it nicely... "quirks" of our professors. I also added some good ideas to my ever-growing catalgoue of ideas for teaching.... So hopefully we will all survive to continue the tradition of passing on the advice to next year's group!
Time to finish reading (oh so much reading!!!!) and get some sleep :)
