SEL/Leadership

Hi 5th Grade Friends,

For SEL the week of 3/30/20:

I loved all the ways you shared your inspiration from Cleo Wade's "Where to Begin" poem. This week, watch "Thank You." I have included this video on the page below. Then, choose to do at least 1 of the following:


  • Create your own "Thank You" video to inspire the Lower School

  • Create a poster or collage of words of thanks, pictures that share your thanks, and more!

  • Write a thank you card or note and mail it to them or email it to them

  • Write a thank you card or note to a doctor, nurse, first responder, "essential services" provider, or company that is helping create or deliver supplies for Covid-19

  • Create a song or poem about thanks and gratitude (If creating a song, you can change the lyrics to a favorite song)

  • Spend time in mindfulness - reflect on the things you are thankful for

  • Create a Mindful Meditation for the Lower School reflecting on gratitude

  • Create Word Art that shares your gratitudes: https://wordart.com/ YOU DO NOT NEED TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT OR LOGIN.

  • Help your parents around your house to say thank you for all they do for you!

  • Find a way to demonstrate care and thanksgiving to your family

  • Other: How does this video inspire you? Create something else to share with us!

Hi 5th Grade Friends,

Week of March 23 - Continued Exploration:

This week, watch Cleo Wade's TEDtalk of her poem, Where to Begin, at least 2x (provided below).
*The poem begins at 1 min. 32 seconds.*

Then, choose to do at least 1 of the following:

  • Memorize a part of Cleo Wade's Where to Begin poem that you connect with, and record a video of you sharing it. Email it to mandrews@mttam.org

  • Create a picture book that illustrates some/all of Cleo Wade's Where to Begin poem.

  • Create a poster of an excerpt from Cleo Wade's Where to Begin poem that you connect with and hang it on your wall. Take a picture and send it to mandrews@mttam.org

  • Stop & Jot Wondrous Words (words that are new, inspiring, important, unique, etc) that stand out to you as you listen to Cleo Wade's Where to Begin Poem. Then, create Word Art: https://wordart.com/ using the words you wrote down. YOU DO NOT NEED TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT OR LOGIN.
    Save your Word Art image and email it to mandrews@mttam.org

  • Write your own, Where to Begin style poem. Share it with mandrews@mttam.org (Also - you could record yourself reading your Where to Begin style poem, similar to Cleo Wade's TED Talk)
