Shared Experiences

 

 

One core element to this collaborative project is the presence of similar, shared experiences that all students in the school will have each day.  Although these will take place in different classroom settings, all children will experience them on the same day.  Our hope was that this would encourage cross-grade level dialogue and family discussions.  These shared experiences will be used as "hook" at the beginning of lessons to focus learners and grab their attention.
