How did you grow this year?
How did you grow this year?
To say that this is a busy time of year would be an understatement. Our team is praying that you will finish strong; we are also praying that, once your school year is over, you will carve out time to reflect on all that has transpired in your home or classroom this year. Consider these two prompts from the Reflective Practice Plan Book:
We hope you can look back on your year and see the growth in not only your students but in yourself as well. And that you can take what you have learned into next year!
We would love to hear from you. Head to the Hive and share the ways or areas in which you and/or your students grew this year.
Notes:
- Student Curriculum Survey: We started a research project in the fall to explore the benefits of a relational education and are excited to continue it with a spring survey! Please have your Alveary students aged 10 and up complete the Student Survey (then there are a few questions at the end for you). *If you completed the survey in the fall, it would be very helpful if you completed it again this spring.* This enables us to compare fall responses to those this spring. If this is your first time taking the survey, please know that your information is also very helpful! As a thank you, we’ll be giving away three $25 Amazon gift cards to randomly selected winners to help you buy books and supplies for next year! Deadline: May 31st.
