Collaboration

 

Alone we can do so little,

Together we can do so much!

~Helen Keller

Collaboration is one of our seven Habits of Character.  It is one of my favorite habits because it leads to so much engagement, perspective taking and seeking to understand.

In all of our learning expeditions, students have time to collaborate through discussions, asking questions and responding to different ideas.

In our morning Crew meetings, students problem solved how to work together to get our entire crew across the classroom using only 9 lily pads (circles).

It was so fun to see who took on leadership roles, how the students communicated and how they problem solved after failure.
