Okay, so I couldn’t wait.
Last week, I wrote about how I turned the word of intention idea into an assignment for my students. And this afternoon during our end-of-semester workday, I made it happen: our Wall of Intention, in the hallway right outside my classroom:
My room is right inside the school’s main entrance, on the way to the main office, so it definitely caught some attention, as other teachers walked by on their way to the lounge or to pick up W2s from the office. I was so proud to agree with their compliments on my students’ creativity!
My husband Kevin was with me during the first half of my adventure with masking tape and aligning cards on not-quite-aligned blocks of tile, and he had a great time encouraging everyone who strolled by to choose their own words of intention, create their own cards, and add them to our wall! A few said they’d do it, even!
Here are some closeup shots, so you can better see the details:
