ACTIVITY:

Have faculty create 6x3 or 6x6 (Paper)

Create two words that represent #whyiteach, one for yourself and one for a co-worker.

·        How are they similar? Different?

·        Do you see others differently than yourself?

·        Do others see you differently that you see yourself?

*We will take these and frame them (poster size), make note cards, post on social media

Hands on Art:

Will be completed in the US and MS Art Rooms (with our 3 art teachers: Kim, Cathy and Kyle). This will give us all a time to create and de-stress and converse.

Word Bank Ideas:

Create, Inspire, Dream, Engage, Love, Build, Bind
