Yesterday we started our school wide project: "American Education: Past and Future"! It is very exciting and a bit nerve racking to start an adventure like this! I am anxious to see how our students react! The project will be implemented using the multiple intelligences and project based learning. The idea is to help students learn in the way they learn best and to let them develop the project in a way that interests them.

Students explored each intelligence to get an idea of what their individual strengths are. The teachers in grades K-3 acted out a skit that demonstrated each of the intelligences. The students loved it! Our 4th and 5th grade students are each making a chandelier. The "bulbs" will be color coded to each intelligence. Students will attach the "bulbs" of their intelligence strengths.

What a variety of ways to introduce the students to this project! Teachers - you are amazing! Thank you for taking on this adventure with the students of St. Anthony's. Can't wait to learn more about how things are going over the next few weeks.
