CES Family Bulletin #11

Critical & Creative

Dear CES Families,

We had a short, but busy week filled with critical and creative thinking strategies. In kindergarten through grade six, the critical and creative thinking strategies are designed to elicit a higher level thinking response. For more information on the nine higher order thinking strategies click HERE. This week we made paper, read to dogs, dug for artifacts, planted seeds, and collaborated with peers!

 

Good luck to the

P2

Students continued to learn about Bravery during the POSITIVITY PROJECT this week. Students learned to understand and appreciate that bravery takes three primary forms: mental, moral, and physical. Bravery refers to voluntary (not coerced) action in the face of a dangerous circumstance. This strength involves judgment; the brave person must have an understanding of the risks and consequences involved in acting. That means that bravery is not the absence of fear, but rather the overcoming of fear.
