As the students know, we journal a lot. It serves three purposes: 1) it gives students a space to express themselves freely, 2) it gives me a space to dialogue with the students and receive constant feedback, and 3) is a reflection space, allowing for lessons learned and service experienced to sink in. For this week, instead of journaling, I brought in canvases, paint, markets, and paper and allowed the students time for self-reflection and expression. We had a lot of fun and the students produced some very intriguing and beautiful work.
To continue the work on our projects, students also followed up on in-kind donation letters, voted on their topic for student letters, and discussed how they will engage the children at Genesis, the transitional shelter they are fundraising for. The day to facilitator group play with the young children will be on Tuesday, May 2.
Students received two in-kind donations this week: ice-cream sundae coupons from Morelli's Ice Cream shop on Moreland for prizes for the dodgeball tournament and primer for our mural project from Lowes at Edgewood - thank you Morelli's and Lowes!
