Strand 2: Connect Globally - Students will work effectively with others to broaden perspectives and work toward common goals.

Strand 3: Collaborate, Communicate, and Create - Students will participate effectively in groups to pursue and generate information. 

Strand 4: Collect, Organize, and Curate - Students will access and gather information efficiently and effectively. 

Strand 5: Discover, Read, and Reflect - Students will gain an increased enjoyment of literature and informational text and grow in their ability to locate and select appropriate reading materials independently. 

Strand 6: Engage as Digital Citizens - Students will demonstrate safe, legal, and ethical creating and sharing of knowledge products independently while engaging in a community of practice. 

Strand 7: Problem Solve - Students will develop and employ strategies for understanding and solving problems in ways that leverage the power of computational thinking, cycles of design, implementation, and reflection.
