Cultivate a community of learners who are connecting regardless of their location in Novato/Marin/California/US/the world via team building activities like the mirror, the choreography, and build a scene with oral instructions.
Creating mindful activities to start the day and help us to be conscientious learners and take responsibility for our own learning
A community of learners who understand discussion and inquiry based learning
Mind maps for getting thoughts on paper
Online model building in groups for hands on collaboration and discussion-spend the first two weeks going over and helping students understand HOW to use these tools, review as necessary
McHarris 6-8 Science NUSD
Start by connecting the breath to the body..
Starting with self-awareness through artistic and body expression to plant deep grounding roots...
NEXT: Given space, time and careful tending, these grounded foundations will help students feel safe and secure to take risks.
Providing students with scaffolded activities to take risks and show what they know, they have the opportunity and confidence to be heard and make meaningful contributions.
Activities to produce productive group interactions and self-awareness:
Unlock the Heart to Unlock the MIND

Being a student in this version of an online class has allowed me to gain perspective on how my students will see their own online learning, and a better understanding of the diversity in students background and skills that impact their ability to learn. I look forward to using these tools in my lessons, as well as to continue to grow in my skills as an educator. �I will be using citizen science in my lessons on our school habitat garden.�The study of inquiry a topic I will look further into because as an outdoor educator I want to encourage and inspire everyone of any age to continue to ask questions, wonder, and discover the world around us.�
