She said that she woke up in the middle of the night because she was painting leaves in her dream.\u00a0 She was fascinated by this and could not stop talking about this. Ms. Fogler, the head teacher, asked Mae if she would like to paint leaves and other parts of nature in class. Of course, Mae and all the other students were more than excited for this activity! They all went outside and picked up leaves, sticks, branches, etc. and then painted them in the classroom.\u00a0 This is a perfect example of how students direct the classroom, but the teacher administers it.\u00a0 It is the teacher\u2019s job to find things that the students are interested and put them in a project.<\/p>\n<p>-Maggie Harbison<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All Cooped Up: Since the spring, the Butler Lab School 60 has been engaging their students with a chicken coop!
