Perspective

After spending some time understanding perspective and the relationship to the written word, students were put to the test yesterday when they were asked to APPLY what they had learned. While the read aloud picture book activity was at first misunderstood by many, the debriefing session offered many valuable and meaningful connection for the 8H crew.

It takes a brave soul to reveal their inner thoughts and emotions regarding their perspective. Thanks to everyone for their excellent feedback. I think it's finally safe to say that we will try not to "judge a book by its cover".

The theme of the lessons in literacy yesterday and today can be found in the mind maps created by students. Hopefully these lessons will resonate with students for some time.

Study Skills Test - That's right. The first test to determine if you are able to demonstrate KUDA with your study habits is upon us. Expect a surprise session in the next day or two.

Can you name the 14 words from our word association session?
