At the end of the school year, the underclassmen who are in Creative Writing will continue to attend class for almost a week after Seniors graduate. This sometimes adds a hiccup to curriculum planning, but a few days ago I came across information regarding rock hiding. After I saw a post from an old friend on Facebook, I further investigated this growing trend, and I couldn't help but feel inspired! Social media groups have been popping up left and right in relation to rock hiding in communities; not only is this drawing out the creativity in the painters, it is bringing smiles to the "finders." "Find a rock, paint a rock, hide a rock!" This is the general idea behind this pay it forward-esque movement. After we look through the rock painting book for ideas, students will use the paints and other paint supplies to create rocks that connect to their interests and our school. We will will use the sealer to protect their paintings from the elements; you never know what you'll have in Wisconsin! When all students have completed their rocks, we will take walks during our class to local parks and establishments to hide the rocks. In order for this to be successful, we need rocks, a variety of acrylic paints, paint markers, paint brushes, sealer, paint pallets, and a container to store materials. My students are excitedly looking forward to developing and sharing their creations! I, too, am excited to see this foster a relationship between their creativity and their citizenship within our community. This will better help them see the positive effect that sharing creativity and paying it forward can evoke. We sincerely appreciate any monetary donation you are willing and able to provide this project!
