I’m looking forward to this event, coming up in about eight days:
The CSU Writing Project is pleased to invite you to a free and fun day of hands-on activities for students, teachers, and families called “Making Equity.” The event will be held Sat., Aug. 10, 9am-4:30 (registration at 8:30), on the CSU campus. Please see the attached flyer for specific details.
This will be a day of “making” that’s connected to the Saving Our Stories project–a summer program that CSUWP offered to help local ELL kids “save the stories” of the Fort Collins Latino community. Some activities that day will include making cardboard cities, book sculptures, quilts out of foam squares, computer games, Ipad stories, tweets, and more.
In the afternoon there will also be professional development breakout groups to help teachers learn how to incorporate making activities with an equity focus in their classrooms. We will have PD certifications of participation for attending the breakout sessions. National speakers from the National Writing Project (including Bud Hunt), will be facilitating these sessions.
This event is free to all and includes breakfast muffins and pizza and cookies for lunch.
Please help us spread the word, and contact Cindy O’Donnell-Allen (cindyoa@mail.colostate.edu) or Antero Garcia (antero.garcia@colostate.edu) if you have further questions.
Hope to see you there!
See you there? Here’s the flyer (PDF) with more information. You should come.
Rock on. I have been doing several pop-up makerspaces for adults and kids. It has become one of the most satisfying parts of my job.
Do you have any tips, Vinnie? Would love to learn from your experiences.
