  There is a new interactive bulletin board up at school that features our final project from this school year. I am so glad that even during this pandemic we have found ways to express ourselves, to be creative, and to collaborate. Check out this great project that really shows the connections between storytelling, music, and art. Great work Amelia (5th Grade)!

  As we end the year, students spent time reflecting on their personal achievements and feelings. Then they took it step further and compared their responses to a classmate's responses.
  
  I love seeing how the students have grown to be good listeners. They demonstrate respect for others and genuine interest in their classmates.

  For the 1st week back to school, in science class students participated in some community building team challenges to welcome everyone back, welcome our new classmates who are new to Decatur, and set the stage for working in cooperative groups in Science class this year!

• 1:58 WK5 | Universe of Obligation

  Students discussed and analyzed texts centered around identity and belonging. Our discussions helped us transition into formulating and creating working definitions for the phrase "universe of obligation". Our studies in Social Studies will aim to help students make further connections with their novel study on "Refugee".
