Thanks for the interesting read, Aaron. I come from the “music” perspective in the arts. There are interesting parallels between art and music. A lot of what you’ve said about art also applies to music.

Congrats to all! Feel jealous about the project and about Singapore. I am so impressed with what you do with gr 1 students ! The world is their oyster. (And yours)

Wow, that’s great! I love looking at art and those virtual museum visits are invaluable. It’s good to know that this resource exists.

That’s a great chart (the 40 Developmental Assets).

Thanks for the sharing!

Thanks for sharing your perspective. I didn’t know that principals struggle this way. They always seem so “in the know” about what they are doing. I guess they hide it well.

Here’s more evidence of the “On-Demand” generation: Binge TV watching. People watching an entire season of a favorite show in ONE sitting, just because they […]

Looks great Thomas!

Lindy, you’re right the Barbie-sized AUP could be very useful in the classroom!

The documents are there for you to download from this blog. If you want only the K-1 document (stand-alone), you can email […]

When that happens, we get the Nobel Peace prize right?!

Will do! Thanks Ian.

Thanks for the link! I quite like Marmite and Vegemite. I’ll have to try Georgie Pie one day. I’m quite sure the average North American would have no clue what those three things are!

Hmm…this all came together completely out of my control too!

Collaboration is a team-effort, Mark. “When one falls down, the other can help pick him up.”

Glad to see your dog is doing well. I saw the instagram pics!

Have a great summer. See you in course 3!

Thanks for the mentions, Kelsey. I like your team’s idea of having the students follow up the AUP with a consolidating activity.
