Franklin Academy IB PYP Mission Statement
Essential agreements: How can we learn best?
We have worked on these essential agreements by focusing on the Learner Profile in all aspects of the school, both in the classroom and the common areas. You can find some examples of essential agreements that classrooms have made below:
Mrs. Castillo's fourth grade class
Ms. Perez's fourth grade class
Mrs. Cantrell's second grade class
Attribute of the month: Knowledgeable
The learner profile attribute we are focusing on this month is “knowledgeable.” To be knowledgeable is to develop big ideas, explore knowledge across a variety of subjects, and engage with issues and ideas that have local and global significance. We also look at our knowledge with an open mind, looking at all different perspectives!
We promote being knowledgeable at school by having students explore a variety of topics in each of the subject areas and apply the knowledge they learn to new situations. Students also participate in the fine arts and Spanish language program to enhance their learning.
At home, you can help your child develop the attribute of being knowledgeable by asking him/her questions about what he/she has learned, encouraging your child to learn new subjects and to apply their learning in new situations. Questions to help them include:
- What is something new you learned today that you didn’t know yesterday?
- Why is that knowledge (or what you learned) important to you? To our community? To the world?
- What is something new you want to learn about?
- What is the most interesting thing you learned today?
