It took them a trimester or so (some longer, some shorter) to find their feet and run, but now, they lean into that hour all week. It's magic. I'd love to teach in a school where that magic was the norm, and not a stolen hour on Friday.Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-84998273870454061162009-03-26T23:07:00.000-04:002009-03-26T23:07:00.000-04:00This sounds really interesting.

It really gave me freedom to explore some passions and learn what I wanted to pursue as a possible career. I really don't think I would be where I am (or maybe I should say, "who I am") without having that experience. I think it's so important for ALL students to have that kind of experience in their schooling.Amy @ Literacy Launchpadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17739013673083340984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-3453755250326332622009-03-26T19:57:00.000-04:002009-03-26T19:57:00.000-04:00Thanks for sharing this one.

I am hoping for some good conversations.Karen Szymusiakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07989718657089668579noreply@blogger.com
