Thank you that you are the parent that is willing to get involved and make it something to remember. We did salt maps and they were way fun and was a bonding experience that we still talk about.<BR/><BR/>SallyeSallyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06821659038926603005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861833534373968679.post-30615401876166642792009-02-03T05:55:00.000-06:002009-02-03T05:55:00.000-06:00Dear anonymous...

If I don't assign out of class work (aka, projects) I get blated for not teaching them skills necessary for the real world. If I do assing out of class work, I hear about it for not realizing that parents don't have time to work with their children. I assing projects 1. because they allow students to be creative in a way other than traditional classroom work 2. they help students with time management and organizational skills 3. because parents SAY they want to be involved, until they HAVE to be involved. Then...holy cow, how could a teacher ASK SUCH A THING!

I s...I TOTALLY agree with you on the project thing. I shake my head when I think about the stuff teachers assign sometimes. It is clearly something a child cannot do unassisted and it drives me nuts. And yes, the time factor and the stress factor can send even the sanest of moms thru the roof! And sometimes it doesn't get much better when they get older. Projects are one of those "don't even get me started" kinda topics! Between the artsy craftsy stuff they could never do themselves.. face it, THE PARENT has to 'figure out' how to make the thing work.. to 'research' on things way too adult for that age group. We had artists one time.. (one of them was) Andy Warhol to be exact.. niiiiice! I did the research for her because I didn't have a clue what I was going to dig up. Nasty! Yeah.. don't get me started!

But..it's not my fault the library only has 2 books about Ostriches!! This is proof we should talk more these days. If I had known...we could have shared the books. Anyway, the clay sculpture looks great!Cristelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08868713997427440921noreply@blogger.com
