“...staring out the front, and the drone of the engine had been all that was left. The drone and the sea of green trees that lay before the plane’s nose and flowed to the horizon, spread with lakes, swamps and wandering streams and rivers.”

Our class challenge ties in perfectly to our international school theme: learn a phrase in 3 different languages. Great way to find experts in the class and welcome diversity!

Our @biglifejournal challenge yesterday was to list 3 things we wanted to learn. Great way to help with a #growthmindset. Amazing to see the great school and non-school topics the students came up with! Today’s challenge: cook and share a meal with someone!

@satrepost I had a great team and staff my first year to really set the stage for me moving forward! Hope all is well!

Sometimes it’s okay to let the students see your true self

When working with children be aware:
“Time” is viewed differently between cultures.
Discipline approaches are based on culture and beliefs.
School parties. We can have fun without having parties based on religion.

As an international magnet school, should we have cultural family advocates in our building to support our students and their families? #DPmagnet

Trying to use Jamboard as place for students to share new learning in and out of class. Each student has their own personalized space to share their learning! @googlejamboard #diamondpathmagnet #diamondpath

[Mr. Berling @mrberlingsclass]

The discussion and sharing is where learning happens. Using different digital tools, how can we empower students after a guided reading group?#diamondpathmagnet
