December Pillars of Care Winners picked by Ms. Elliott

 Hey all,

My student teacher, Ms. Elliot, picked the winners this month.  All these students are very deserving.  Here is what she had to say:

Care for Others: Leara - Leara shows great empathy for her classmates. She will check if others are okay when they seem upset and is always able to put a smile on mine or her classmates faces. When one of her classmates didn’t have a snack, she didn’t hesitate to share hers with her fellow classmate. 

Care for Learning: Aaliyah - Aaliyah has been trying extra hard lately in math. She is taking responsibility for her learning by asking questions when she doesn’t understand and asking to be given extra help questions so she can practice outside of class.

Care for Place: Chance - Chance shows respect for our classroom every day. He is quick to clean up even if he didn’t make the mess. He swept our whole floor after our trees and forest science project left the classroom in shambles.The class looked good as new!

Care for Self: Massa - Massa was very brave and brought another student’s inappropriate behavior to a teacher’s attention. It can be scary to do this, but Massa knew it was the right thing to do. By doing this it shows her care for herself and her peers. Now she and her peers can feel safe outside before and after school. 

Pillar of the Month: Carman - Carman understands that she is always learning. Even after mastering a skill, she doesn’t stop pushing herself because she knows there is always more she can learn. She shows empathy for her classmates by never gloating after her achievements. Carman shows great character in her ability to be modest through all of her successes.

Today in class we read on our own and read Harry Potter.  We then continued with our math adventure of volume, and played 4 on 4 half-court basketball games where everyone had to touch the ball once before your team can shoot.  We also watched the first movie up to where we have read, and the differences are quite drastic. 

In science we are learning about constellations and the myths associated with them from different cultures. In the afternoon we had lunch, recess, mindfulness, and then we attempted the CBE Minecraft education edition challenge.  The challenge is to design something as a class the city might use downtown to attract tourists.  Today I just let them loose on the program so I could some things from them.

We hope everyone has a Magneto Monday!
