First Day of SAGE 2011-12

Hi all,

Here's a quick update of our first day activities.  Each grade did a variation of the following 3 activities.

1.  Knotty Rope Challenge or the "Graberizer" Challenge.  (Ask your child about how these challenges can help them learn about facing other group challenges they get in school.)

 2.)  SAGE computer survey. 

3.)  Posters about SAGE.

• 3rd Grade - How does a classroom that is a "Safe Place to Make Mistakes" and a "Safe Place to Take Risks" look and sound?
• 4th Grade - Which of the 7 Habits does SAGE most involve for SAGE students? How does SAGE involve that Habit.
• 5th Grade - The same as 3rd grade PLUS "what does a classroom look like that has 'Respectful Teaching.'"  Here's the quote they worked from: 

"All tasks should respect each learner . . . Every student should be required to think at a high level and should findhis or her work interesting and powerful."  Carol Ann Tomlinson
