I started this blog just over a year ago as an assignment for one of my previous Lesley classes. We were required to keep track of the various assignments for our course here. I haven't used the blog since that time, but since the url is easy and since I plan to refocus the blog on internet resources, it seems appropriate to continue my collection and revive my blog.
My focus this time around is going to be on gathering resources and project ideas for the summer program I am employed at. This summer's theme is food and I need to begin collecting my ideas and resources to prepare for the program. As I work on my collection, I would greatly appreciate any resources or suggestions that you might have or be willing to share with me.
The summer program I work at is a 5 week program for gifted and talented students who have just completed sixth and seventh grade. It is a free program for the students. Students are given the opportunity to learn from experts in a given field to ask them questions and learn from their expertise. There is no set curriculum; rather it is up to the interests of the teachers and students to guide the program. It is a unique model that the participating students (and teachers) seem to enjoy.
