At PNA we use The Responsive Classroom Approach. It is a way of teaching that fosters safe, challenging and joyful classroom and school wide climates for all students. Using this approach we understand that all of a students' needs - academic, social, emotional and physical - are important. This is teaching to the whole child. At PNA we create an environment that responds to all of those needs using practical strategies for bringing together social and academic learning throughout the school day so that your child can do his or her best learning. Key responsive classroom practices include the following: - Morning Meeting - Guided Discovery - Creating Rules - Classroom Organization - Interactive Modeling - Academic Choice - Teacher Language - Collaborative Problem Solving - Logical Consequence - Working with Families The Morning Meeting is an integral part of Responsive Classroom and starts the day of in a positive, engaging and fun manner as well as bringing students together, building peer relations and developing social skills. Each and every morning meeting consists of:
At PNA, we strive to give students not only a voice but many opportunities to let those voices be heard. By taking part in the morning meeting, asking and answering questions, sharing news and conversing with peers. Students are not only revisiting new vocabulary and concepts, but they are able to state their opinion and respectfully disagree with the opinions of others. In just a short space of time the morning meeting welcomes students and conveys a sense of belonging, reminds students of key ideas and behaviors, as well as adding a challenge that gets their brains warmed up and ready to start the day. PNA performed their Christmas Concert on Thursday. It was a great show and 4th grade performed exceptionally! It is nerve wrecking performing in front of so many. Each student should be proud of themselves. Comments are closed.
