“Convivencia”
In quarter, we are
going to work on activities to build a greater understanding of
“ self- awareness of personal strengths and weaknesses” in order to promote
empathy, friendship, time management and planning.
· Empathy and Friendship: students have created great bonds these past few years, and we would like for students to continue working on creating new friendships and strengthening their old ties with their peers
· Time Management: making sure students are using their time wisely in class, being punctual to all classes, and listening or reading instructions carefully
· Planning: combined with time management, students need to use their agendas to ensure they have all the tools necessary to plan ahead
· Awareness of Personal Strengths and Weaknesses: students should be aware of their strengths and weaknesses and of those of others, likewise students should work on improving their weaknesses and use their strengths to help themselves and others succeed

(ex: a shoe box) to decorate it using images related to the topics we are
studying and make it look like a treasure chest. Student will store almost
everything in this box of knowledge. The general topic will be the rainforest
and the importance of them around the world. Student’s fraction cards/ percent
circle, new vocabulary, literary elements, mini-investigation books and science
activities will be stored in their treasure chests of knowledge.
