Chalk the Walk
We are in the first 6 weeks of school and still building community with each other. One way to build connections is through art. Advisories at the Middle Campus were tasked with finding a powerful quote together and decorate it on the sidewalk around our school. Students spend all week collaborating on designs and negotiating ideas. After their colorful creations, students reflected on the IB MYP Approaches to Learning Skills – which ones were areas of strength and which are areas of growth.
