Self-Directed Students

I will be using this space to try to demonstrate how my students are showing individual and collaborative leadership, without my interference.

My students earned a classroom party for good behavior. I told them what I would bring and we voted on activities to do, but I told them it was up to them to make sure any other food or activities were planned by them. They decided to create a Today's Meet website for everyone to sign up to bring something to the party. They projected it on the wall and wrote instructions for students to follow! Misspellings aside, I'm so proud! :)
