Eye of the Dragon
John Dewey Academy of Learning *Feb 12-16, 2018
Celebration
Hello Dragon Families!
My favorite part of the week is Friday afternoon large group circle. Not because it is the end of the week, but because I love to hear the students celebrate their accomplishments with one another. Some of you may not know that we start and end each week together as a whole-school group. We take this time to check in with one another and share our proud moments. It is not uncommon for a student to share how he finally finished his math module, or how she earned the credit she was working toward on a particular project. Some share that they made a new friend or pushed themselves to continue working on something despite it being difficult. The roar of students cheering for one another during this time is quite special.
The learning community at JDAL is unlike what you will find anywhere else. Not because one community is better than any other, but because our community is what is best for us. We do things differently here, not because we just want to be different, but because we want to do things in a way that represents what is important to each of us as well as what is best about each of us.
I'd like to take a moment to celebrate each and everyone one of our students. The staff and I thank you for your curiosity, your perseverance, your willingness to be open-minded and coachable, your support for one another, and your excitement for learning. You are what makes this school great, and we love that you are here.
Thank you for being a dragon! We appreciate you and we believe in you.
With gratitude,
Jen + the JDAL Staff
