The new name for this blog was announced today at Friday morning meeting.
We got many great submissions, so combined our favorites to the title you see above.
What does it mean?
"Plerking" is a term first coined in the Art Room. It is a combination of playing, learning, and working--what we all do in the Arts Wing at Sage. When 7th grader Owen M. submitted a suggestion that turned the term into an adjective, we knew it needed a place in the title.
"Shades of Sage" was a submission by 4th grader Matthew M. The Arts teachers liked this phrase because it represents something we firmly believe--that nothing is ever black and white. Our lessons are exercises in trying to see how many shades of understanding and perspective can be creative, making this a great idea.
Fifth-grader Kippy S. submitted an idea that included the word "artelligence." This word immediately reminded me of Howard Garder's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, which made a connotative statement by referring to music as an intelligence, not a skill or talent or ability. We think Kippy came up with a great word.
