October Global Mindset Moments

Throughout the year, we share weekly Global Mindset Moments on social media to demonstrate how our mission is playing out in our school and how we are fulfilling our Strategic Plan. Here are the October Global Mindset Moments:

Global Mindset Moment (October 24): Johann and Thomas's classes collaborated on some outdoor learning last week. They went on a walk in the forest to collect leaves and then used those leaves for a few projects. They had to create different shapes using multiple leaves and then made artwork by tracing the leaves. Our program continues to be enhanced by the nature on our campus, and we love to see cross-division collaboration using the outdoor spaces!

Global Mindset Moment (October 17): Kindergartners learned about light and shadows with their teachers and our STEAM coordinator. They traced the shadows of different blocks, observing the similarities and differences between the shapes of the blocks and the shapes of the shadows. Developing curious and critical thinkers starts in Maternelle. We want students to be interested in the world around them, ask questions, and grow into lifelong learners.

Global Mindset Moment (October 10): A few weeks ago, seventh graders interviewed pre-k students about their favorite songs. Afterward, the seventh graders spent several classes learning these songs and returned to perform them for the pre-k classes. The performances featured popular songs like "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," "Let It Go," and "Pink Pony Club," all of which were big hits with the captivated audience. This kind of collaboration fosters growth for everyone involved. The pre-k students learn from the middle schoolers, while the seventh graders gain confidence in their communication and performance skills.

Global Mindset Moment (October 3): This week, third graders tested their lung capacity. This engaging experiment gave the students a fun challenge as they worked together in groups. We want our students to be able to apply their learning, and aim to give them hands-on experiences to fully grasp the concepts they study in class. This experiment did just that as they tested the capacity of their own lungs while learning about how the respiratory system works.
