BEFORE todays STEAM+ experiences, we rated what we predict our behaviors and attitudes might be with some reasons. Here are the befores. I’m curious to see our rating afterwards.

Scholars at Sycamore Ridge shared a #giveonegetone of any beliefs they had about what every student might need in their learning journey. Then we narrowed it down to #sentencephraseword; gluing our words to help drive our class beliefs

Art-Literature-Social Studies bridged together to celebrate John Muir and his impact on California’s nature, led by ⁦⁦Meg Money⁩

Last month’s Dot Day to celebrate our own uniqueness and what brings us joy or a sense of curiosity for creativity

Each morning Sycamore Ridge have been using a thinking tool to #makemeaning of topics. Day 1:synonyms D2:phrases to explain D3:questions D4:connections. Initially I recorded their responses. Stay tuned as students begin to record and make meaning with less and less support from me

We had our first Published Works Celebration last month on personal narratives. We are now in our narrative writing stage, using the third person.

Scholars took a moment to use a #321bridge to recall and frame their thinking BEFORE going to STEAM+ with Cat Gilbert #sciencewithswanberg then AFTER to REframe and reflect on our special learning times!

After Sycamore Ridge talk about compassion, we shared multiple quotes about compassion and chose one that our hearts were more drawn to. Then collectively shared it in our hallway

Thank you Mrs. Rivera for sharing about making and keeping friendships with us. #wedonttalkABOUTfriendsWetalkTOourfriends

Thank you for introducing a way for us to practice mindfulness, right at our “fingertips.” And that all emotions have a beginning, middle, and end #todaywillbegreat
