(Letter from 2rd/3rd Grade Teacher to Parents)
" This term, students did a deep dive into how we express emotions. We watched Pixar's Inside Out and created Expression Journals with ten creative writing exercises that connect to the film and students' own emotional experiences. Students reflected on formative memories, the emotions that drive their actions, their personalities and the experiences that have influenced them, and more. Some of these journals are on display in Uno (the room immediately next to Gates Corner).
long with the journal project, every student chose two unique emotional vocabulary words from our Emotional Vocabulary Wall (created by students in the beginning of the term). Students dove into the meanings of the words they chose and created multimedia canvases (complete with LEDs and sound recordings) to express the emotions without using words. Students learned how circuits worked with Jeremy and put the components together. This was no small feat! The end result is a stunning gallery the students have chosen to call A Step Into Feelings. "
