We value community, and we believe that community is knowing oneself in the context of knowing others. We make inside outside portraits, reflect on our reading/writing/math identities, bring student choice into everything we do, practice restorative circles, use writer's notebooks to have students reflect on themselves and the world around them, etc...]]> 2021-12-08 14:34:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lpassar/covno4t8nkbiiuqu/wish/1935993985 https://padlet.com/lpassar/covno4t8nkbiiuqu/wish/1935994970 including relevance to students' lives in daily lessons]]> 2021-12-08 14:34:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lpassar/covno4t8nkbiiuqu/wish/1935994970 Shows up but... charalambou1 https://padlet.com/lpassar/covno4t8nkbiiuqu/wish/1935995091 -work to learn more about

Still our school takes a critical lens to what standards and skills are valuable. What will help our students be thoughtful citizens in the world? What do they need? These are questions we ask whenever prioritizing skills. ]]> 2021-12-08 14:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/lpassar/covno4t8nkbiiuqu/wish/1935997925 Identity lrobinson102 https://padlet.com/lpassar/covno4t8nkbiiuqu/wish/1935998186 HMH first unit was connected to students learning what identity is and how we form our identities]]> 2021-12-08 14:36:04 UTC https://padlet.com/lpassar/covno4t8nkbiiuqu/wish/1935998186 Skills lrobinson102 https://padlet.com/lpassar/covno4t8nkbiiuqu/wish/1936000257 Having students build an understanding of application of skills today to nuture their skills for tomorrow]]> 2021-12-08 14:36:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lpassar/covno4t8nkbiiuqu/wish/1936000257 asullivan1110 https://padlet.com/lpassar/covno4t8nkbiiuqu/wish/1936003621 I see a lot of joy across our classrooms, especially for special days and events.

For instance, in my classroom right now we are learning about murals as acts of change. Students decided what social issue they would want to learn about and make a mural about. They chose what to learn more about and what questions to ask. This creates a more authentic intellectual experience. ]]> 2021-12-08 14:38:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lpassar/covno4t8nkbiiuqu/wish/1936004880 Joy lrobinson102 https://padlet.com/lpassar/covno4t8nkbiiuqu/wish/1936020622 Having students experience JOY IN LEARNING]]> 2021-12-08 14:44:26 UTC https://padlet.com/lpassar/covno4t8nkbiiuqu/wish/1936020622
