Perspectives

Division 3 has been spending time exploring different perspectives.  We started by talking about some often unheard voices in a war.  Now we are exploring current political movements and considering the perspectives of all of those involved.  We are beginning with the "Black Lives Matter" movement.  We don't know much about it so far, but we have a ton of questions!  This week, we will each choose one of our questions and see if we can answer it.  It will be our first foray into the Inquiry Process.

We have also introduced the new marking system that goes with the new report cards.  NO MARKS!?  There was a parent meeting at the school last week, and a letter went home with information about the new reports and marking system.  It included a link to the new reports.  Due to technical difficulties I can't post my overview tonight, but will work on it again tomorrow.  Check back!

Be sure to ask your child about our new marking/reporting system and why it is beneficial (even if the transition will be tricky).

Also, Ms. Husdon recommended a cool YouTuber, "How to ADHD."  It's a super interesting channel not only for those parents and kids with ADHD, but also for those of us just interested in the brain and how it works!
