Yesterday, Kinobe, came to Rainbow. He spent time with first, sixth and fourth/fifth grades. Saturday he will play with his band at Rainbow’s Halloween Harvest Hoedown. Show starts at noon.
Here is a terrific lecture with animation that talks about where public education is today; how it got there, and what needs to change.
Interestingly, all of the solutions are exactly what we already do at Rainbow Community School!
(This is an 11 minute video. If you want the whole 55 minutes lecture, you can find it on YouTube under “Sir Ken Robinson; Changing Paradigms.”)
Captain Gillespie and his crew from Fire Station 10 had some sharing time with us today. They showed us what a fireman looks like in his fire fighting suit and mask. They also told us about fire safety, answered our hundreds of questions and showed us all the tools on their ladder truck. We were fascinated. Thank You Fire Station 10!
Thursday was Hero Day, our fourth day of Spirit Week. We dressed up as Jane Goodall, John Muir, an astronaut, moms, doctors, and Mr. Rodgers. At lunch we ate with each other and shared who are heroes were. Then we played chase.
Middle School Teachers, Susan & Jason, dressed up as a collective of their middle school students. Nice.
