Went to a training yesterday that had a stipend. It was good info. Mostly went due to the money and it being Christmas soon. It did kinda make me aware of certain issues with learning in regards to my own kids (especially after hearing my kid read last night).
It had to do mostly with ELL types but they emphasized the fact that many native learners had troubles as well.
Have me a chance to brainstorm some stuff and the teacher at school that has the computer class asked if I had anything to keep the kids busy. So I came up with ideas. They are going to make subway art for word walls and they will make power points to show wht they've learned in review form. The kids asked when they would ever use the stuff they learned, I think this is a good way. PLUS I'm thinking at the end of the year, we could pull in some business people and have them critique their work. Hmmm. Just brainstorming right now.
I do know that I struggle with the feeling that mediocre is ok where I'm at. I don't want my kids to think mediocre is always acceptable. We expect the best from them at home, so should their school. Anyway. That's all for now.
