We received our Donors Choose shipment of Hokki Stools today! The kids are beyond excited. They all wanted to give money to our next project and then find a way to get more stools for the classroom. I am blessed to teach such sweet and kind students. They listened as we talked about the incredible people who donated so that we could have these stools. They asked questions about why these people gave money and how they could help others. Donors Choose is an excellent way to teach students about Habit 5: 'Seek first to understand, then to be understood' from our 7 Habits of Happy Kids. These students care about other people's feelings. They want to make a difference not only in their classroom but in the world. What a joy to be a teacher! What a joy to teach these students! Thank you to all those who gave freely and generously to our Donor Choose project! See you at the edge!
An eagle isn't taught to fly by watching the mother's wings as she hovers over the nest. An eagle learns to fly by being pushed from the nest, being caught and pushed again until the eagle learns to fly. At CCJHS, we want to push students to the edge of learning. We want our students to fall over the edge until they are able to fly on their own...creating their own personalized path of learning based on their own data knowledge. #CCJHSEaglePride means a student owning their own learning.
