Purposeful Learning

Learners of all ages tend to be most motivated and engaged when they feel a deep sense of purpose of their learning and their work. 

The 4th & 5th Grade Book Club learned to make these beautiful handmade blankets that they are donating to the Cancer Care Center at Northwest Community Hospital, for patients who are receiving chemotherapy. 



The thoughts and details going into these posters are impressive! Students are making these posters to persuade their peers to read some great books. It's wonderful to see our students recommending books and encouraging each other to read!

When students identify and are aware of the essential questions they are striving to answer, they become more attentive and thoughtful as they research and learn new content. 

Science and math have been purposefully integrated into this art lesson. Students mixed colors, measured and drew geometric figures.
