What Makes Ms. Arcenas' Class UNIQUE?!

Inspire. Challenge. Succeed. 

Every Student... Every Heart... Every Mind... Wow Grade 4, last week you were all risk-takers in our Learning Community B Assembly! Ms. Heidi and I are super proud of your willingness to share with others your connections to what makes you unique. Parabéns! 

Consider the following questions as you take a closer look at our Pecha Kucha presentation:

• I wonder, what does each image teach us about each student?
• What connections could you make to the different images?

Applying our Reading and Writing Skills

Same skills, different contexts... I wonder Grade 4, in what ways have we been using what we know about information reading and writing to support our learning in our different activities?

After our assembly, you had the opportunity to interview your grandparents, parents or special friend about their experiences as a student. You then synthesized the information gathered from your interview using the note-taking text structure compare and contrast. 

Consider the following questions as you reflect on your writing:

• What is similar about the information? What does this teach us? What does this make you realize?
• What is different about the information? What does this teach us? What does this make you realize?
• What connections could you make to the information shared?

Review the information on our STEAM presentation and ask yourself the following questions:

• In what ways could I connect STEAM to The Eagle Way?
• Can I identify specific actions that helped us build our classroom community?
• In what ways could my participation in STEAM help me grow as a learner?
