The end of the academic year at MMWA concluded with some incredible projects. Because we get to teach one-on-one and are given a great amount of flexibility in designing our curricula/schedules, we have the advantage of creativity and freedom with our students. Plainly put, if we get the work done than we get to have fun. Our students can help push the studies in directions based on their own interests, so it's extremely rewarding as a teacher to have such involvement with our students. We really get to know them and do our best to tailor the studies to their learning styles, ideas, strengths, etc. Spanish teacher Christine Colangeli recently put this theory into practice with her Spanish 2 and 3 students. As they were are extremely artistic and love creative projects, they made clay masks based on ancient Inca motifs. Here are some photographs of the beautiful masks. Que bueno!
