Design Lab
Week of 11/15/21
Last week we watched a virtual performance of Charlotte's Web. Today, Ms. Goulden led the students through the Design Cycle in the new Design Lab. After viewing some short videos and pictures of spider and their amazing webs, students inquired in the form and function of spider webs. Partners planned how to create a strong web that would hold bugs, built the web, tested it, and reflected. This was a fun activity that focused on communication and cooperation.

Kid Leader Presentations
Week of 11/2/21
Our study into leadership continues through kid leaders. You don’t have to be part of a government structure to make a difference. What does it take to be a leader? Does everyone have to be a leader? What characteristics do leaders have? During the provocation (with the Kid President) we discussed adult leaders who made significant contributions.

PROVOCATION Early October, 2021 Our new IB unit started this week. I told the class that one person truly inspires me to be a better person and to make the world more awesome. I took ten questions to guide students into my inspiring leader’s secret identity. Afterwards, I revealed the secret leader (THE KID PRESIDENT!) and we watched some inspiring videos of the leader. Then, I posed a question to the students. What can YOU do to make the world more awesome? Each student recorded his/her answer on a Jamboard.

Here's a great inspirational video about how ONE person, young or old, can make a difference!
