25 Days of Making

2019 Edition

“There are no standards written that cannot be supported through play” Pamela Phelps

Dear friends,

Thank you for a great start to the 25 days of making. We had a lot of sharing on social media. I look forward to people making when they get their materials and start in the action. While we know some of these projects will take time we would love to hear from you about your thoughts and what you plan to do.

We can’t wait to see how you’ll be improvising today, on day 2 of 25 days of making in which Chris Woods shares a super genius and yet practical project using wrapping paper to do some graphing. I love it and many of you can use this in your classroom and learning space.

Create

Explore making some new twists to the ideas. While we share projects, the challenge becomes making it work for you and your space. If you make tweaks please share. Don’t not do a project if it does not fit perfect. Use your talents to remix it and make it work.. Don’t be discouraged if you have not done this before. Therefore, we are doing these projects so you can push your boundaries of learning and do something you never thought you could do before. And the same goes for your students.

Share

Add your project or any other projects you are working on through these options to share how you approached today’s challenge or the one from yesterday. Then, check out and comment on some other examples when they are shared.

Reflect

Take a moment to reflect on your creative process? Create a notebook, use a Google Doc, Evernote, Word Document….. What did you like most about your project? What would you do with it next, if you had more time? What are you planning to do?

Looking forward to hearing your adventures in making
