Create Your Pumpkin Plan - Due; Wednesday, October 12th - Posted on the Blog - Bring your completed Pumpkin with you on Monday, October 24th - when you return from Fall Break. All pumpkins are due by Wednesday, October 26th.
Our classroom theme for the door decoration is;
ABOVE THE INFLUENCE - We have discussed the following in class;
There might come a point when you ask yourself, who am I really? Am I being real? Am I still the kid my parents think I am? And more importantly, who do I want to be?
The truth is, you're a lot of things to a lot of people - think back about your writing pieces .... you are interesting like that.
There might come a point when you ask yourself, who am I really? Am I being real? Am I still the kid my parents think I am? And more importantly, who do I want to be?
But, with so many versions of yourself, it's easy to forget the one thing that keeps you real - the pure-grade, original first edition of yourself.
You can be someone to look up to, and know what it feels like to get rejected. You can be righteous in your decisions and still slip up and make mistakes.
The point is, when you reach the moment where you have to ask yourself, who am I really?
Press Pause ... Hit reset - And remember - you're ABOVE THE INFLUENCE.
Your assignment is to check out the web site at;
http://abovetheinfluence.com/
Explore it - look for a saying - a meaning - a statistic that catches your eye - something you can stand behind - create your pumpkin around that - you can paint it, color it, create a saying around it -
Be Strong - Be Creative - lots of great ideas on the site - explore, learn - create a Slogan of your Own.
When you return from Fall Break bring your completed Pumpkin with you; a Medium Size pumpkin will work best - something you can easily carry - and keep your decorations/paints - easy to work with - we will use these on our door entry. Parents can assist and/or make one of their own to join in on the decor and theme. Posters are also accepted.
In the interim, please paste your saying/or theme onto the blog. I would like your plan posted - with your posting name and a line or two to include your Pumpkin plan by Wednesday, October 12th.
All pumpkins due are due no later than - Wednesday, October 26th,
we will have a classroom contest for Best Pumpkin - Most Creative, Best Slogan, and a few more categories.
I have created a sample posting for you - in the comments - Enjoy! Ms. Lane
