Educational Reflections (formerly Rumblings from 52)

This blog began in Room 52 at AMG Junior and Senior Public School in 2011. This site has followed me to a few schools since then and now joined the roster of retired blogs in the social media universe. The journey and reflection will continue in different and exciting spaces. Room 52 remains one of the most significant places of teaching and learning for me and grateful to the students and staff who supported me there. Thank you.

Wow. This will probably be the last entry until late August or early September. It is hard to believe that the school year is over. At times, it felt as though it would go on forever and at times it seemed to sprint on by.

I wish all the graduates the best as they prepare for high school and, for all of the students in Room 52, a safe and happy summer.

We had a visit from Ms. Tai's class on Wednesday. They are a very talented group under the guidance of an excellent teacher. They shared some of the narrative work they have been doing in class. If this video uploads, you should hear small samples of the stories they read and some of the images that went with each narrative.

For the remainder of my last entry, I will post some photos from the final days at school. There are a few graduation shots, some images of the students outside, and my traditional (or what now seems to be traditional) shot of the empty classroom.
