Greetings Fellows!

In case you have't read Jeff's emails and heard... it's BSWP's 10 Year Reunion and we're making it a big deal. Can you believe it's been 10 years?!?!?

I won't make this email long.

Our goal is to demonstrate the web of impact from BSWP on the website. In order to achieve this goal, we need a few things from fellows.

Please send the following my way:

1. updated emails and contact information

2. link to any blogs or any published pieces of writing

3. short bio and picture

4. an experience from BSWP you'd like to share

5. If you are a local Fellow, would you be willing to house an out of town fellow? (9/30-10/3)

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks,

Cecilia Pattee

I'm looking for a few poems that 5th graders can use to identify metaphors, similes, alliteration, and personification. We've already used "The Red Gloves." Of course, I need it yesterday.

Go Cecilia!

As the 2011-2012 school year begins, I am reminded about the difficult year we experienced last year as teachers. So many different legislations and changes were made to our profession from the top with little input from teachers. So many teachers I spoke with felt as though they no longer had a vo...

Time for a paradigm shift, our goal should be to create critical divergent thinkers. I enjoy listening to Sir Ken Robinson ... as a visual learner I especially enjoyed this video.

This animate was adapted from a talk given at the RSA by Sir Ken Robinson, world-renowned education and creativity expert and recipient of the RSA's Benjamin...
