Education & Reference - 10 March 2007

At the beginning of the year we started to develop what we're calling a "Character Education Portfolio". The intent is to get the kids thinking about themselves... how they handle situations, who they are, who they are becoming, who they want to be. So far we have included the following:
Baby pictures, current pics, pics of family and friends.
Resume.
Who am I now?
What's my ideal career?
How do I want my life "to look" in 5 years?
Music (we burned cds of favourite songs)
When I'm angry/happy/sad I... My body language looks like...
The best choice I ever made...
Favourite journal entries.
Hobby/Interest/Activity Inventory
Artwork (personal and favourites from others)
How does my music define me?
Other people see me as.... Really I am more like...
What do I do to make the world a better place?(home/school/community/country/world)


I may have missed a few... any other ideas? These portfolios are a favourite activity and are ABSOLUTELY beautiful.

As I have been through the horrible rebel war in my native Koidu Town in Sierra Leone, all my poems(except one) are based on my experiences as an internally displaced person and a refugee -since July 31st, 1997- in Guinea(Conakry), Senegal and The Gambia.
Also, I have worked variously as a Classroom teacher , Peace Builder, Development Worker in schools and with multinational civil society organisations in Guinea and The Gambia.
My poems are particularly aimed at discussing themes ranging from peace vs war/combativeness against a background of poverty, corruption,etc; love vs hate ;Africa's beauty; modernity vs tradition, grief/pains/strife associated with the hardhitting realities of the life of a refugee, who has been forced out of the peace or tranquility of his/her the community once known as "home".

For homework our teacher put us in partners and told us to write a paragraph or poem about our partner. I don't want to write a boring paragraph, but I suck at poems. Can you help me make a poem about her, I am not supposed to say the name (we will then mix them up and try to guess who's it is)

Here are some of the things she likes (and her characteristics)
-Coke
-Converse
-Vampires
-Boys
-She has black hair and brown eyes
-She is Sri Lanken but since she is adopted she is also Australian

She is pretty popular and nice... I don't hang out with her which is why I kinda need some help...

When I talk, I tend to mix up the letters in words.
For example I'll say:

A kellow yey-(a yellow key)

This happens about 2 times every hour. what could it be?

I am a home schooling mom. I have already had to deal with opposition in our school district because I have decided to teach my children at home. I just wanted to know what the general feeling was in the teaching community.

Since I know the social life of my children might be the TOP reason most people state, please let us just skip that one in order to hear out some more thought out answers.
