Collegial Circles: Part 2 - Theme Exploration
We've curated some resources for three possible Summer Rocks! themes: Geology, Physical Activity, and Music. Briefly peruse the three ideas and pick one that you'd like to develop further. Or maybe you have an idea of you own you'd like to explore -- let's hear it!
Rock Your World!
Gems, fossils, minerals and Kindness Rocks
Rock Your Body!
Dance, movement & performance
Rock Your Beat!
Music, musicians & instruments
Collegial Circles: Part 3 - Project Development Time
Within your group, brainstorm ideas and select one activity you'd like to try.
Have one person in your group make a copy this Planning Template.
Collaborate as a team to complete it. (Click the red button below if you'd like to review NYS and AASL standards & frameworks.) Be prepared to share out your plans at the end of today's session.
(Both the Summer Reading Template and detailed Logistics Template can be found in the shared SLS Council & Communications Coordinators Google Drive folder.)
