Elementary has been busy in the first few weeks of school! Refreshing our memory on how to be a TRIBE (Trustworthy, Respectful, Involved, Be Prepared, Effort) Student and taking on new projects!
Some grades starting off with Project Based Learning- you ask what is PBL?
In Project Based Learning, teachers make learning come alive for students.
Students work on a project over an extended period of time-from a week up to a semester- that engages them in solving a real-word problem or answering a complex question. They demonstrate their knowledge and skills by developing a public product or presentation for a real audience.
As a result, students develop deep content knowledge, critical thinking, and communication skills in the context of doing an authentic, meaningful project. PBL unleashes a contagious, creative energy among students and teachers.
1st grade is taking on the Driving PBL question of: How can we take care of the homeless animals at SNAP and inspire our community to help? These are questions that we can ask the people at SNAP when we visit next week! We also learned how there are many things that make us happy, but there are certain things we really need to live. We found out our pets have a lot of the same needs/wants as us!
2nd grade is taking on the Driving PBL question of: How can we as school officials design and propose fire safety routes for school? Mrs. Lansing and Mr.. Rude recruit 2nd graders to be Junior Fire Inspectors.
