“Praise isn't flattery. It's fuel. I point to the win…however small, because a student who can't see their own power won't take a real risk….And I need them to feel safe enough to try.”

4th Grade Lessons

Grade 4 IB PYP “All About Me” unit. This Art project was inspired by RJ Palacio’s book “Wonder”. Students created self-portraits inspired by the illustration of the book cover. They then used a variety of adjectives to describe them. We saw clips of the movie, talked about bullying and how being different should be celebrated and not looked down upon. Groundbreaking for a culture where individuality isn’t really the norm.
