Dream Plans

Time for an October post!  I am always looking for fun projects to do with our 6th graders.  We started our year talking about dreams, specifically focusing on Susan V. Bosak's book Dreams - A Tale of Wonder, Wisdom & Wishes.  My 6th graders really enjoyed this book and it prompted a lot of thoughtful discussion.

This will be a 2 part post, as we are still working on this project.  I wanted to share some of the journals our students wrote after reading and discussing Bosak's book.  They focused on the 3 dreams that were the most important to them, and how they were going to make each dream happen.




Using this, students will create a Dream Plan using magazines and their own artwork & writing.  Those are still in production.  Another post to come soon!
