Magnet Mondays
Wk 1 - Live Locally, Learn Globally
Welcome to 'Magnet Mondays'!
Every other Monday, you will receive a ‘Magnet Mondays’ digital newsletter. This digital newsletter will include information about Magnet Schools, upcoming events at Stough (such as school tours, parent meetings, etc.) as well as suggestions on how you can support the program by spotlighting Global Studies and Mandarin Immersion.
Let’s focus this year on infusing Global Learning in our lessons and marketing Stough as the BEST Magnet School.
Magnet Moments
Live Locally, Learn Globally
This year, I would like us to set aside time for Magnet Moments. Magnet Moments are purposeful times each week where you delve into Global Studies activities, related to your focus continent or common themes. These are intentional moments where you discuss Global issues, make comparisons, and draw conclusions; it’s where you help our students recognize the vastness as well as smallness of the world around us.
Perhaps your Magnet Moment will be on a Monday during Reading or a Friday during Social Studies. You choose!
Theme: School Around the World
Each month, I will share resources that focus on a common theme. September is the perfect time to investigate School Around the World. Check out the resources below and use them in your classroom.
(These ideas come from https://ourglobalclassroom.com/ - This blog has numerous global lessons and resources.)
