The SAN Script – Friday, December 12

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

– John 13:35

I really only love God as much as I love the person I love the least.

Dorothy Day

prayer of the day

Lord, you know those persons we love the least. May we begin to love you more by trying to love them more. May we show the world that we are your disciples by our love for one another. Amen.

St. Anthony Today

book sale – last day today

Holy Trinity Visits!

8:30 am – 9:45 am – Arrive at St. Anthony’s (hopefully, will depend on traffic) and unload Christmas hampers and warm clothing; after we’ve finished this, my students will move into their assigned classrooms to start the lessons and activities that they’ve designed (all holiday-themed, based on specific curriculum expectations, and with modification/accomodation strategies)
9:45 am – 10:00 am – My students will probably stay indoors to debrief with me on how their lessons have gone so far, and to prep for next block
10:00 – 11:15 am – Finish lessons, and teach/rehearse a holiday song as a class (to be performed after lunch in the gymnasium)
11:15 am – 12:15 pm – Lunch; my students will play outdoors with the St. Anthony’s students!
12:15 pm – 1:30 pm – All classes will gather in the gym for a Christmas sing-along. Each class will perform the song that they practiced with my students during second block
1:30 pm – 1:45 pm – Trinity students pack up and leave!

 

Build of the Week: littleBits Facetime Car

littleBits Facetime Car

 

*Build of the Week is a regularly occurring segment on Renovated Learning where I share some of the awesome stuff my students have been making over the past week.* 

This build isn’t actually from this week, but is instead something my students made last month.  I finally got all the videos and photos together this week.

Back in November, my students came up to me one morning super excited about something they’d read in Popular Science (I love my nerds).  They had seen a Facetime car made with littleBits and laser cut parts, and they were determined to build one with our littleBits.  We don’t have a laser cutter, but we do have LEGO Mindstorms parts, so my students quickly got to work sketching out ideas and brainstorming.
