Which can help work on math skills (measuring height or how much water intake plants need), responsibility (making sure the plants are being watered and checked on) also teamwork (everyone is held accountable for the garden it is a team project). Another way is Outside Group Talks (by taking a group of kids to an outside area in which their is no distractions for students to talk about feelings and a safe space for them). Lastly Journaling I feel personally is very beneficial for students it gives those who don't feel comfortable with speaking out loud a way to express themselves whether that be words or drawings. ]]> 2022-10-05 16:18:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mshaw/ELSGrant/wish/2327898152 Systems https://padlet.com/mshaw/ELSGrant/wish/2351912672 This year I have been far more purposeful in incorporating the idea of systems into students understanding of how things work.
