Over the next few weeks my hope is to share some of my students projects with you. I will share the good, the bad and the ugly. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at any point throughout 🙂
Puzzle Masters 5K Family Walk & Run in support of Autism and Children at Risk
Last weekend I got to take part in one of the student lead projects as a volunteer. I supported these students for the last month and half by asking questions, providing some suggestions and helping them connect with people when they needed an adult. In their class there are approximately 10 groups working on projects as well. This means that over the last month and a half the received 10 % of my attention and that was it. In a month and half three grade 11 students organized a 5K race to raise money and awareness for Autism. Check out the video below to get an overview of the day. It was amazing.
Dany K Kutz for Kids, Healthy Lifestyle and Peer Mentoring
With his permission I’d like to introduce you to Dany. I have taught Dany for the last three years and finally this year he had his aha moment. He and his partners have taken things that they are interested in outside of school and have brought it to the classroom. He is in two of my classes and currently has three projects on the go.
Dany cuts his friends hair at home for $, he is cutting hair at school for $10 a cut with all proceeds going to Jumpstart Canada.
Dany loves working out and talking nutrition. He has started an Instagram account with his partner and they are motivating their followers to be active and to eat right.
Dany is Lebanese and can speak Arabic. When he was in grade 10 we worked with a group of students who were newcomers to Canada (many who speak Arabic). Dany really enjoyed working with them. Dany reached out to the teacher that we had worked with and is now volunteering in her class once or twice a week.
This is what Dany has to say about what he has been doing.
Thanks for unlearning with us 🙂
Cheers, R
