My favorite form of poetry is music. I shared my favorite Pentatonix song about traditions. Together, we brainstormed holiday traditions and created acrostic poems. Sharing my traditions with students is one of my favorite joys! KYCharge KEDC Grants RENAISSANCE Grant #ARTinspiresJOY

To encourage holiday safety I had students watch a Christmas parade and discuss the ways to stay safe in a crowd. They also created Christmas coloring sheets to give to our amazing SRO as a thank you! KYCharge KEDC Grants RENAISSANCE Grant #ARTinspiresJOY And that’s, BINGO!

Our session this afternoon with OER Project was wonderful! We learned an engaging way to assist our students in making comparisons. Brainstorming ways to utilize this in my counseling classes to help my students think deeper about their feelings. KEDC Grants KYCharge
