An Inspiration Box-Assignment 1

-
 Welcome back! 


   Assignment for April 1st
  FOR ALL STUDENTS K-5

      When I was a child, I had a box that I would put anything I deemed important into.  I would now call this an inspiration box.  In this box, I put little trinkets that important people in my life had given me, interesting rocks I had found, feathers, pine cones, seeds, doodles, pressed flowers, poems, quotes, fortune cookie notes, 2 dollar bills, and anything else that I really treasured.
     To Inspire means to excite, encourage, and breathe life into. You can think of inspiration as anything that gives you that little fire in the pit of your stomach and that grows until you feel compelled to put something into action.
     Your first challenge students is to create or select an inspiration box or tin.  It doesn't need to be anything fancy, in fact you can decide whether you want to decorate it or not.  It could be a shoe box, a coffee tin, an old music box, a jewelry box, a cardboard box etc.  After you have made or selected a box or tin to collect things in, your next challenge is to start searching for things that inspire you or make you smile, to put in the box.  This could be an interesting twig, a beautiful leaf, a postcard, a piece of jewelry that your grandma gave you etc.
      This assignment is for all students K-5.  I would like you to use today to choose or create a box and start collecting items.  I will be doing this assignment at home as well and will try to update you with the items I have selected and how they inspire me.

Objective:

Students will start collecting things that inspire them by either making, decorating, or selecting a container to put items into over the coming days and weeks.

Example of the inspiration box that I started to decorate is below.

    Aarav is also getting the same restricted message about the video. But the text is helpful. Do you need them to click a picture of the box and submit it to you/email it to you? Is there a submission date? Thanks.

Accountability and Grading

Hey Everyone,      Just in case you didn't get the email..... We had a team meeting yesterday and were told that we need to find a way to collect work by students whether it is in the form of a log or a picture.  I have decided that google photos would be the best platform for me to use for each individual class.  I said before that it was not required to upload pictures, but after speaking with my team and admin., I am making it a requirement to upload a photo of what kids have been working on whether it is the actual assignment or an alternative assignment.  This will also be a way for kids to see each other’s work.  The 3-5 th grade kids can upload pics on their own, or a parent can do it. Along with a picture of the work, they need to have the child’s name written on a piece of paper next to the work or on the work, so that I know whose it is. I would also like them to write assignment 1, 2 etc. next to their name. I would like at least one picture a week starting next
