Who inspired who?

After meeting with Mrs. Long, Math Professor at IUP, and discussing a potential collaboration between IUP pre-service math middle school teachers and the students in Enrichment Support I decided to make a quick video to introduce the pre-service teachers to my students and to get their creative juices flowing for projects they might like to plan to teach my students.

See the video here:

Well, wonders never cease. I found myself inspired! I heard my students talking about what they would like to learn about and what they wonder about in the world of mathematics and their desire could not have been more crystal clear!

THESE STUDENTS WANT PI!

After hearing this message loud and clear, Mrs. Globun and I are planning a Pi Day for the K-4th Grade Enrichment Students.

I am sharing because this is an example of the cycle of instruction in Enrichment Support. The students themselves are a part of the team that develops our curriculum.

What students are curious about matters. 

When they share a request for knowledge it is honored!

WE SHALL GIVE THEM PI and PIE!!!!!!

Reading My Favorite Books by Rielle

Reading my favorite books brings me to another world,

full of imagination and magic.

Reading my favorite books brings me to a world of color,

not gray nor black.

Reading my favorite books paints a picture in my mind of

beauty and war

peace and color

imagination and wonder

simple, yet complicated.

Reading my favorite books brings me where

I want to go most.

Rainbows!                                                            

Color, beauty,

emotions,

every color

imaginable

you can

see it,

but you

can’t feel it.

THE REAL STORY

Once there was a man with a mustache.

Once there was a man with a mustache.

I said that twice, right? Who cares! Carry on.

He was 100% evil.

Moohoohahamustache.

He was 12 foot six and ten out of twelve stars.

Mister Mustache went to the grocery store to get some salami.

When he got home he burned up the salami with his eyes

then ate the salami with his sharp teeth. 

Mr. Mustache complained: I don’t have any water!

I don't have any, I don't know what am I going to do now.

Ohhhhhhhhhh, I am going to go to the grocery store.

I want to go to Walmart. I want to go to Walmart, right now!

Good, I'm back from Walmart so now I have to go to Egypt to see the Illuminati.

Eyeball!!!
