Tuesday March 19th, 2013


As normal, today students had options when it came to workshops. Some included science benchmarks, organizational work, and filming projects for Multicultural Week. There was also some about 21st century skills. 

A lot of times we talk about 21st century skills at Communities. But what are they? 21st century skills include things like critical thinking, collaborating, flexibility, initiative, leadership, technology skills, and much more. These are all things that are helpful in the real world! Staff have been encouraging and helping students to improve these skills all year long. Recently we received textbooks from Zaner-Bloser that are about 21st century skills. The book is called "Inquire". Books haven't be distributed to students yet but they will certainly be helpful in the future!
