The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience."  Eleanor Roosevelt 
 
 
 
Motivated to learn! This week, students in K-4-6th grade worked together to design and build a "kindness" creation during our Global Cardboard Challenge. The facilitators were the 6th grade students who crafted their plans to share with the younger students as they created their "masterpieces!"
 
Upgrading autonomy -- engaging students, taking risks, collaborating, problem solving -- 21st Century Learning!
 
"Rigor and playfulness pair much more smoothly than we think they do, and that pairing can have some pretty spectacular results" -- Daniel Pink, author of five top-selling books on motivation, learning, and preparing our students for the "real" world.
 
Enthusiasm, excitement for learning, and "working hard" permeated the campus!  Pure joy!
