Learning Outcomes

Wellness:

Demonstrate respect for the contributions and perspectives of others when working together or make decisions or achieve team goals.

Students acknowledge and connect perspectives of self and others through communication and listening skills.

What Did Students Do?

Students focused on collaborating and compromising! They worked in random groups to practice some math skills, descriptive writing, and art. Each group worked with three pumpkins to measure, estimate, describe, design, and carve. This afternoon was focused on sharing ideas, listening to the ideas of others, and working together for a common plan.

Family Connections

Ask your child:

-how they contributed to the group? 

-how they included others in the group?

-what was successful when working in the group?

-what was challenging about working in the group?
