Theme

Hello all,

This week we have had many hours of consensus time, and here is a brief summary of each meeting. On Tuesday, we eliminated eight theme choices to the joy of our community, and we are now left with six remaining. Those include Deep Sea Life, Disabilities in Art, The Culture in Food, Architecture and Design, The Unknown and Mythology . We broke up into smaller groups today (Wednesday) and on Monday to see if we could reach consensus more quickly in smaller groups. While not only did we not reach consensus, our different data provided much discussion and confusion. Today in separate cores we had a difficult time elimination choices and took a re-vote to collect new data. While everyone is frustrated and antsy to reach consensus quickly it is more important to take time to make the right decision then go quickly and make the wrong one. More theme time tomorrow as a whole group, and a goal to reach consensus!!!

Thursday Update: OUR ALL CLASS THEME IS DEEP SEA LIFE/BODIES OF WATER!!!!! After only 45 minutes of discussion on Thursday, we came to consensus on our theme! We are all ready and excited to jump right in and start learning about Sea Life and Bodies of Water!
