Our classroom follows the school-wide positive behavior system with our acronym of TEAM: Teamwork matters, Embrace kindness, Act respectfully, and Make safe choices. We nominate each other for TEAM awards that recognize these important life traits.
We know who we are both individually and collectively, and who we want to be. Our class will create a name, motto, logo, and more in a project-based learning unit cerntered around our knowledge of self, others, and our place in the world.
