Teacher program plans and journal notes


I SEE, I THINK, I FEEL, I WONDER
'I SEE a diamond (shape)'WONDER? 'It makes me wonder how we decorate, what kind of things we decorate with our bodies – that’s how we make so beautiful shapes.'FEEL? (about dancing with Annie) 'that one … makes me remember we gave Annie a move of Jellical Cats and that looks like Jellical cats (the pose)'.
FEEL 'I feel like a broken down train that moves so slowly. The broken down made it slower.'SEE 'I was trying to be a dung beetle, climbing up the dung, cause dung is pretty heavy for a dung beetle …'THINK: 'I was doing twirling and twirling and twirling – but it was being a bit too fast, cause I was being the Earth and Griffin told me that the Earth goes around as fast as a fingernail grows.' 'He has 3 encyclopaedias.'
