IB Trait: THINKER

SEL Competency: SOCIAL AWARENESS

Milo is on a long subway ride with his older sister. To

pass the time, he studies the faces around him and

makes pictures of their lives. There's the whiskered

man with the crossword puzzle; Milo imagines him

playing solitaire in a cluttered apartment full of

pets. There's the wedding-dressed woman with a

little dog peeking out of her handbag; Milo

imagines her in a grand cathedral ceremony. And

then there's the boy in the suit with the bright white

sneakers; Milo imagines him arriving home to a

castle with a drawbridge and a butler. But when

the boy in the suit gets off on the same stop as

Milo--walking the same path, going to the exact

same place--Milo realizes that you can't really

know anyone just by looking at them.

Paper is our resource for 24/7 tutoring and homework support for all students in APS. Our Paper contact is Jaime Grant. You may have already received communication from her - especially our high school library media specialists.

Be sure to reach out to her to offer training to your staff, students and parents. She is eager to ensure that all know of this resource and can use it as necessary - with high schools being a high priority.

Sylvan Hills Middle School invited her to one of their staff meetings and the teachers are thrilled with this resource. The students are even able to log on to Paper during the school day for immediate support (think 3 before me).

Additionally, Paper is available for immediate download as a Chrome Extension for all devices. To download this as an extension, follow the steps here.

Paper is a resource curated by our Library Media Services Department so no one will know about it unless YOU share the information with others. This is a department initiative and we need YOU to get the word out with your teachers and students.
