QAE News - 10/7/2016

 Interdisciplinary Learning in Action: Combining meaningful reading, writing, math and social emotional learning at QAE:
What goes on at QAE each day? Here is an example of the rich learning opportunities at our school. Here are 1st and 2nd grade students reflecting on their reading using a growth mindset model, writing their reflections on post-it notes and then graphing their post-it note reflections to develop data analysis skills in math. This is a wonderful example of how QAE teachers set learning goals using our data, teachers then analyzed our data to identify specific targets in learning, and combined this work to support students with our social emotional learning goal:

Lunch Update: Science in Action
In response to feedback from older students, this year we aligned our lunch schedules so that students of similar age can eat and play together each day. 4th and 5th graders, 2nd and 3rd graders and K -1st graders have recess and lunch breaks together. This means that we have a large number of students eating lunch simultaneously in a very cavernous space. This gave our staff and students the opportunity to involve science to solve our noise conundrums. At first we grouped students by class while we helped students learn how to clean up their lunch area independently after eating. Once these responsibilities were mastered, our creative staff implemented responses to our sound challenges: we moved tables around so that students were sitting beside peers rather than across from peers and we faced the tables in the same direction. Then we taught the students about sound waves and explained our thinking about our cafeteria reorganization to reduce the volume. By involving students in solving the problem using science, we helped students to generate multiple solutions to our common problem. Our collaborative problem solving will continue throughout the year. We are proud of our student and staff collaboration on problem solving our real-life challenges together.

Thank You, 5th Grade Leaders!
