I think 4th quarter in FL is probably the most engaging quarter of all 
for our students!

One of the teachers who I bounce ideas around with is in the process of 
creating student podcasts.  They are working with a children's picture 
book (each student has a different book) and are mastering the art of 
reading fluently and with intonation and feeling.  Once they've done 
that they are going to record themselves reading and put still pics of 
the book pages (or I think that's what they are doing), might be 
straight audio.  The class is then going to gift a Kindergarten class 
(at the school across our campus) with the podcasts and the picture 
books.  He is hoping to arrange a walking field trip to let the best 20 
students actually go and guest read to the kinders.  He says he's never 
seen his kids so excited.  Did I mention that these are 7-8th graders 
who are reading at a 2nd & 3rd grade level? No easy kids to get excited.

An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how 
much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you do 
know and what you don't.
Anatole France (1844 - 1924)
