As I reflect over my week I realize even more how important it is to have a more solid health topics to discuss with my students. Death seems to be surrounding us these past few weeks and many related to tragedies due to poor decisions/choices. I as a teacher, need to give them more skills and practice on how to become healthy individuals. So thus this lesson I am planning is so fitting for me and my community.
I also feel blessed to have such wonderful co-workers who have been so sharing in their teaching styles and resources. It has opened my eyes to a whole new world and I am enjoying my journey. I have hit a few road blocks trying to get local historians to share their knowledge, but am hopeful that it is just the busy schedules that can come together for this project/lesson.
Anna, thank you for helping me understand how to be a better teacher and leading me on this journey, Shawn for sharing your resources and ideas and Lesley for spotting my work on my desk and asking about it then sharing your thoughts over Tribal PIR days. You are right! This Circle of Life/Medicine Wheel could so relate to our strategic plan for our school. It would be not only comprehensive, but a great visual that all could understand.
Finally as this class winds down, my learning will be on going. I will continue to use this blog as a holding place for my ideas and strategies.
