Reflections on Planning Day 2

It was interesting to get started planning the camp and imagining how we might use invitations in the program. I am grateful for the opportunity to practice this methodology, which I believe holds great promise, in a non-threatening and cooperative way with a great group of educators. It would be so much more difficult and risky to try something like this by myself in my own classroom and without the peer support.
I was pleased that both groups seemed to successfully take the information we discussed on Thursday and develop well fleshed-out, age appropriate invitations, seemingly on the first try. I look forward to seeing what happens on Monday when the students are confronted with the invitations -- which ones they choose to explore, and the direction in which that leads them. From what I understand about the kids participating, it should be a lot of fun.
The tuning protocol that our whole group used today worked well in helping me consider ways to improve our plans! I am really looking forward to Monday because I think that these students are going to enjoy and learn a lot at the camp. I am also looking forward to meeting the children on Monday and to having the opportunity to learn more about each of them personally because I think this will inform the direction our group takes with the invitations.
I think we are all off to a good start. I found the tuning protocol very beneficial. My group found many of the comments/ suggestions helpful and incorporated them into our plans for Moday.
I'm excited to see what happens on Monday!
Yes, indeed, I am also looking forward to introducing the invitation to students. I have gathered plenty of books from the Athens Library in hopes that some of the titles will help them choose which game to inquire, if they choose my invitation.
