Day 8: Projects, Trifolds, and Pinterest: Oh My!

I've got projects on my mind. Every weekend, I dream up a million projects I should do to my house, and every weekend, I fail to do those projects. For school, I have projects, and today, at school, I helped with projects. One of the seventh grade teachers had her students focus on passion projects this semester. This included making a nonfiction piece of text with text features and a trifold board to display the information. The topics ranged from gardening to military and from Mars 2020 to calligraphy. The students have worked hard, but I wanted to add so much to some of those trifolds. These projects remind me of my science fair projects in Oklahoma. I can still remember the rubber cement smell we used to attach everything to the trifold board. In fact, not only do I want to take over the seventh graders' projects but my own daughter's independent project trifold. I've thought that maybe I just need to buy myself a trifold board and really spice it up. What would my passion project be these days?

Hmmm. I am passionate about God and my family. I do love books and music. However, just as my very last science fair project was about different learning styles in education, I think school/education/learning is where I am still the most passionate. I truly cannot get enough of school supplies, planning lessons, helping students learn. Designing my board would be my favorite thing to do. Would I go elementary with the 4 basic colors, pencils, and apples or would I go with the Pinterest-worthy decor with a bright color scheme, fringe, pennants, stickers, OH MY! I think I would go with this. I can picture it now. What topic in education should I research to inform others about?

Comment below a topic that we should know more about in education.
