Please ask your student for their green 21st Century Skills Presentation Night permission form. We are excited to present our knowledge and projects on 21st Century Skills on Tuesday evening, October 16, in the LCMS cafeteria. We are working hard to finish on time!
If your student would like to stay after school to work on this project, I will be available Tuesday through Friday next week until 4:00 p.m. each day.
Students will have two more 60 minute work periods in class next week.
We are using all of the 21st Century Skills to teach about 21st Century Skills. It has been a real learning curve for both teachers and students!
Other exciting news: students now have their own E-Pals account. Every message is moderated by me. I will not allow students to use the system for social messages, only school related work. I have never used the system and was fascinated to learn that students didn't know the meaning of "cc" or "compose." Of course, when I was in high school, we actually used carbon paper. It made me wonder if we will eventually only use I-phones to make the world go round.
Recently, Mr. Myron Graber, Superintendent of Secondary Schools, Dr. Marie Peoples of our school board, and Mrs. Tammy Chute, HR Director of Farm Bureau Insurance came to speak to our language arts classes about the importance of 21st Century Skills in the workplace.
The students are realizing that they will need more than reading, writing, and arithmetic to be successful in their future.
We have been "crazy busy" learning about 21st Century Skills in language arts. Students are learning the importance of collaboration, communication, and problem solving. Along with developing their writing skills, we are using technology such as E-Pals and Weblockers to share and store our information.
