In September we were communicators and focused on communication skills. We used communication to learn, share, express and celebrate!
According to the International Baccalaureate, communicators, "express ourselves confidently and creatively in more than one language and in many ways. We collaborate effectively, listening carefully to the perspectives of other individuals and groups."
Morning meetings are back, and our first meetings were spent celebrating communicators.
We started the week with the K- 2 meeting
So many confident communicators to celebrate. These learners were recognized for sharing stories and ideas, listening, communicating with "smiles, hugs, high fives and kind words" and making sure everyone "feels heard". Mr. Morris communicated with a surprise freestyle, and we learned so much about being a communicator. We also were reminded that Mr. Morris can really rhyme.
3-5 Morning Meeting and more clear and confident communicators!
So much celebrating at the 3-5 meeting and Jade created sketch notes to communicate and capture it all!
