The MGRP
While reading a few select chapters from the MGRP book by Camille A. Allen, I felt as though I was better able to understand what our finished classroom projects will look like. I really enjoyed reading about how the children got so excited when assigned these projects! It is so great when teachers can find a project for students to work on that develops both their reading and writing skills. The idea I love most about this project for young children is that it is developed over a three month period and the children are responsible for self evaluating. I believe that if children are serious about their work this can essentially be a wonderful idea. Without a teacher standing over them, children will be much more relaxed and able to focus on their work. I know when I am working on a paper, such as the one I was writing earlier, I am unable to find enjoyment in my research because I am consumed with worry about my grade. I don't want my future students to become overwhelmed with an A and become unable to enjoy their research. Through the readings of the chapters, I have decided I really like the idea of the MGRP because it encompasses many different skills necessary for children to develop!
