Ben. I have a 4th period class that has such a hard and awkward spirit about them. They don’t answer questions. They don’t really respond to anything. Today I was considering emailing the AP about getting some of them moved to another class. That was before I passed out the paper for the first invisible character and asked them to draw on the front and put the details on the back. I could not believe the change in the energy and spirit of the group. It was like night and day. I absolutely could not believe it. None of my other “playful” activities could reach the heart of these students. The playful child inside these hardened teenagers just could not be reached. I’ll keep you posted as to what happens today. Wanted to let you know that you are reaching people through simple kindness and love which is the only thing that can overcome the darkness of this world.
