Monthly, our school community focuses on one “habit” and “attitude” of disciplined decisions to be successful in the classroom. One of our monthly  “habitudes” is adaptability. Students can clearly identify the characteristics of being adaptable in their daily lives in and out of school such as resilience, resourcefulness and how these connect to other “habitudes” such as curiosity. Students carry these seven “habitudes”, imagination, curiosity, self-awareness, perseverance, courage, passion, and adaptability, into their personal and academic lives daily to make connections and live out the Henrico Learner Profile. 

Students will use the app Canva to present how the ancient Egyptian’s innovation of the sundial modeled adaptability in ancient times and its impact on the world today. They will model an understanding of how the ancient Egyptians influenced how we tell time today and their use of natural resources to adapt to their environment and be successful by sharing the process of creating a “Human Sundial” on our school blacktop using images throughout the process of development. Students will explain the process in design and will model how the resource works. In conclusion, students will take their learning out of the classroom, creating a resource for all Kaechele coyotes to enjoy, while sharing the development digitally for all Henrico students and staff to enjoy as well.
