Learner Profile Attribute of Caring

This month, we focus on the learner profile attribute of caring. Students begin the year in a new classroom, with a new teacher, and new friends, so it's important that all students show caring and kindness towards one another to create a strong classroom community. In fourth grade, students worked to create classroom rules, made identity puzzle pieces for a class puzzle, and shared the "Best Part of Me."

Pillar of the Month: Kindness

Along with learning about caring for each other, our Pillar of the Month is Kindness. Fourth graders show kindness when they work in collaborative groups and play together at recess. They also support each other in class and cheer each other on to support everyone's learning.

Our Language Policy

At Our World Neighborhood Charter Schools, we believe all teachers are language teachers. Language is the major element that connects the curriculum. The focus of language is its application across the subject areas to provide an authentic context for learners to develop and use language socially and academically. In 4th grade, we introduce weekly vocabulary words from the texts we read, encourage the use of content area vocabulary, and push students to extend their thinking while communicating their ideas. We also believe being bilingual is a superpower, and we value students' home language and embrace translanguaging in our classrooms.
