I love it when my students ask to work from home! I’d like to make it happen more often…and especially now 🙂

Isn’t it amazing when they become so motivated that they want to work from home?!

They present their project to the rest of the class which I feel is an important component. The project had evolved over 3 years and even from grading period to grading period. I’ve had tears but more excitement. And the students are asking to work at home!

Yes, I think this is exactly what our students need! They need to be able to follow their passions and interest so the focus is on meaningful learning.

And getting students to think about how they’re going to go about learning a topic is meaningful, especially to help them grow as lifelong learners.

I agree! Just being curious about themselves and their world is so important.

Plus, “brainstorm phase” is probably great learning just on its own.

Yes, I totally agree with you!

Many of our kids still want strict guidelines for a safe return of a simple product. They haven’t explored possibilities of pursuing a “what if” or “I would really like”.
