Our Podcast about Inanimate Objects that LiveAt a certain point near the beginning of the new year I asked the crew to listen to a new podcast called Everything is Alive with me. The intention was to get a few laughs, inspire students to expand their creative thinking and engage them in a new story-telling format. After listening the whole crew wanted to make their own version of Everything is Alive. So anchoring the activity to dialog and character development lessons we set out to create our own version of anthropomorphizing stuff. Next time you toss your water bottle in the dishwasher, beware of the true impact.

Friendly Anthropomorphism (I can't change the header pic on the podcast; the price of free hosting.) An Amazing Story About Love and VegetablesA couple student's, Jace E and Chloe G, independent of class work created the following short book. Click on the link to read and admire the illustrations. L a s t S O L OOne last day together in the mountains for a bit of personal reflection. I did not make it to the top with the crews so pics I have to share are limited. Dance PartyOur school’s This Is Me dance - 100% choreographed by the kids of Renaissance! Every two weeks, a different group of kids would create the next 15 seconds of the dance and then teach it to the entire school. By the end of the year, the dance was complete. Working together on this dance as a school over the year really helped build a sense of community. It has been quite powerful to see all 400 kids sharing the common goal of learning these dance moves and completing the dance by the end of the year! This song also comes with a strong message that we wanted the students to really embrace - to be themselves and embrace who they are. Thank you AllThank you everyone for an amazing final year at REMS. I appreciate all the support you each gave, as students, as parents, to help me best guide. May you all find whatever it is your hearts desire. May you all smile.
