Preschool Project: New Roles

With our problems now settled, we have set new goals. We are going to push forth in making the template for a really successful book, each of us sort of taking our original pieces of the project and blending them, like we would have if we had original trial material.

Christi will be creating sample dialogue, the calendar, and corresponding materials. She will also format the book and be responsible for the final outcome of the project.

Julia will still be responsible for pictures and their format in the book. She will also work with creating some possible scenarios/ story lines and maybe some games or projects for the group and child to do together.

Aron will work on creating a website format with title and template for future projects, as well as slide show and video capabilities and a spot for project team members to blog about their experiences.

All group members will work together to help each other finish their objectives.

All objectives will be complete and ready for review by Thursday, May 29th.

On The Road Again

So, we hit our roadblock and this is where we are at.

We don't have another child at so short a notice, so we are going to format the book and set project guidelines. We will leave space for pictures and include sample dialogue.

Preschool Project: Roadblock

We lost Ms. Seckar. I am trying to go back to plan A and use Quentin Spurlock, but it is such short notice. My new plan, if we cannot use Quentin, is to create a sample book and project format with guidelines and sample forms/ calendar/ outline that people can use in Mr. Bjerke's classes in the future.

We'll see.

Preschool Project- On It's Way

So, Julia talked to Ms. Seckar yesterday, and she said yes. We will be using her five year old child, and name and further details will be added at a later time.

I am going to email Ms. Seckar the information (including tentative schedule and rough outline) to get things rolling this week.

Yay!

Preschool Project- getting started

Julia is really slow. She still hasn't talked to Ms. Seckar, but she will do so today (or I will beat her up). We are confident though that she will say yes, so I feel comfortable making a tentative calendar for the completion of the project.


It goes as follows:

Saturday, April 26 - (morning) 1st meeting with child (and parent)
talk/ overview, picture

skip a weekend for prom

Saturday, May 10 - (morning) 2nd meeting, start formulating story,
draw a timeline, child pictures
Saturday, May 17 - (morning) final meeting before book presentation,
re-enacting stories, final stories/ memories
Saturday, May 31 - (morning) book presentation/ explanation with child

so you know (and i remember)
