At the end of last year, we began to redesign our guidance department. Old bookshelves were removed, we got some fresh paint and new office furniture was added. What we were left with was a fresh start to a new, modern-looking office, with bare walls. We discussed what motivational posters to purchase, but we wished for something that was a bit more personal to Waldwick.
I was introduced to Wordle.net by my mother, a second grade teacher in Westchester, N.Y. This is a free website that allows the user to enter a plethora of unique words that are applicable to him or herself, and a design is randomly created. The user can choose the colors, and by duplicating a word 4-5 times, those specific words are distinct. In our case, we chose to have WALDWICK and GUIDANCE as the two key words in our design.
We saved our design and had it printed in school. For the cost of a frame, we now have a our own, inexpensive design that is unique to our own Guidance Department. The word choices come from counseling terms in both the Middle School and High School.
