https://padlet.com/vanallsburga/n5c6lnq0wmome9kt How Can We Create A Community Where We Welcome Everyone With Open Arms? en-us 2021-05-19 00:15:32 UTC 2022-02-20 00:14:26 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f3e0.png vanallsburga https://padlet.com/vanallsburga/n5c6lnq0wmome9kt/wish/1537882106 This group of fourth graders has a huge heart for those around them, and it is evident in the PBL Project they worked on this year.  One amazing quote we heard this year from one of our favorite books, THE BOY AT THE BACK OF THE CLASS said this, "The entire world is full of hearts searching for a place to call home."  This made us realize our work here at Lakewood is very important. We needed to make new students find a home at our school.

Our Focus Skills were:
Collaboration and Global Thinking  
Critical Thinking and Problem Solving

* Leaving Home on the First Day  At Your New School
*Walking through the Hallway for the First Time at Your New School
*Meeting Your New Teacher
*Being on the Playground on the First Day at Your New School

We also observed situations on our own playground, hallways, and lunch room to see first hand what we noticed new students were experiencing at our school.]]> 2021-05-19 00:29:12 UTC https://padlet.com/vanallsburga/n5c6lnq0wmome9kt/wish/1537888239 vanallsburga https://padlet.com/vanallsburga/n5c6lnq0wmome9kt/wish/1537907756 PBL Project Board in Class]]> 2021-05-19 00:41:21 UTC https://padlet.com/vanallsburga/n5c6lnq0wmome9kt/wish/1537907756 vanallsburga https://padlet.com/vanallsburga/n5c6lnq0wmome9kt/wish/1537911371 Each of the students had their own Digital Notebook to record notes, information, questions, and reflection during our  project.]]> 2021-05-19 00:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/vanallsburga/n5c6lnq0wmome9kt/wish/1537911371 vanallsburga https://padlet.com/vanallsburga/n5c6lnq0wmome9kt/wish/1537918527 Students working on their observations in their PBL Notebooks.]]> 2021-05-19 00:47:50 UTC https://padlet.com/vanallsburga/n5c6lnq0wmome9kt/wish/1537918527 vanallsburga https://padlet.com/vanallsburga/n5c6lnq0wmome9kt/wish/1537929824 Students read four books this year that allowed them to  discuss and investigate the challenges characters faced moving into a new community for the first time. Students recorded their "Noticings and Wonderings"  on Google Slides and Google Jamboards and shared them with one another. Students then worked in teams to brainstorm a list of questions to ask new Lakewood students with the goal of finding out what their experience was like joining the Lakewood Community. They created Google Surveys and sent them to all of the new Lakewood students.]]> 2021-05-19 00:55:03 UTC https://padlet.com/vanallsburga/n5c6lnq0wmome9kt/wish/1537929824 vanallsburga https://padlet.com/vanallsburga/n5c6lnq0wmome9kt/wish/1537934659 2021-05-19 00:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/vanallsburga/n5c6lnq0wmome9kt/wish/1537934659 vanallsburga https://padlet.com/vanallsburga/n5c6lnq0wmome9kt/wish/1537939842 2021-05-19 01:01:29 UTC https://padlet.com/vanallsburga/n5c6lnq0wmome9kt/wish/1537939842 vanallsburga https://padlet.com/vanallsburga/n5c6lnq0wmome9kt/wish/1537944074 Students created Survey Jamboards and Google Form Surveys to send to new students.]]> 2021-05-19 01:04:15 UTC https://padlet.com/vanallsburga/n5c6lnq0wmome9kt/wish/1537944074 vanallsburga https://padlet.com/vanallsburga/n5c6lnq0wmome9kt/wish/1537984798 Students waited for the results to come in and began recording the data into their own Google Documents.
