We are grouped with students according to alphabet, so I have a classroom full of students I do not know or teach, whom I only see once every 6 weeks, and whose grades I do not have access to. We are given "lessons" which we can conduct or not as we choose.<BR/><BR/>By the time we had our second advisory, I found out my students did not like me because I hadn't brought them any food. It is customary, apparently, to load them up with donuts and other snacks, or even tacos and pizza. I, naturally, have to pay for it all. I apologized to them sincerely and told them that I would not ever be able to fund that type of thing, but that I would do my best to address any questions or concerns they had.<BR/><BR/>The Thanksgiving advisory lesson we were given was about the minorities whose stories have been left out of Thanksgiving. Students were to go around the room and talk about how their culture has been left out of our American Thanksgiving tradition, and then do some little art project over it.<BR/><BR/>I threw that one out and taught them Sudoku instead. At the next meeting, we did Mad Libs together. (Most of them had never encountered either one.) For the next meeting, they've requested word puzzles like Scrabble and Boggle. We are now having a great time - they get a chance for play, which they have precious little of here, and they love to work as a group on the puzzles and etc. It isn't a perfect solution, but it's inexpensive for me, it's organized for them, and it's entertaining for us all for the 25 minutes we have together.Redkuduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756085609311571044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691251033406320222.post-55605733300816548372009-03-20T19:52:00.000-07:002009-03-20T19:52:00.000-07:00From the middle school model site on "Advice about...From the middle school model site on "Advice about Middle School Advisories":<BR/><BR/><BR/>"Last fall, before parent conferences, Stern asked her advisees to fill out a form designed to gather information about how students felt about school and how they thought their parents would respond to the upcoming advisory conference. 'Included on that form was the question What would you like me to discuss with your parents that you feel is difficult for you to address?' said Stern."<BR/><BR/>Absolutely astounding!SteveHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956560674752399562noreply@blogger.com
