It has been a good week. Even sitting here in New Zealand I can feel what makes ISY special returning. Different classes and grade levels are getting together to share what they have been learning, older students leading younger students in our first Wellness in Action afternoon, students getting together to make Earth Hour commitments, and Elementary Students getting involved in Chinthe Roar are all examples of connections to our bigger purpose that are difficult to make online. This bodes well for a positive and purposeful last quarter. It certainly won’t be the same drag to the end like the previous two years and I am very, very happy about that!

We all know we are doing our best…. even when we are not at our best!

Check in. How am I? What do I need? How are they? What do they need from me?

Ask for help and be helpful.

Be present and patient. Take time to fully understand others and allow time for others to understand you. Pausing, Paraphrasing and Posing Questions promotes our common understanding.

Share your ideas and be open to the ideas of others. Once shared, they become our ideas and anything could happen!

Q4 Interdisciplinary Units

Scope and Sequences

Here is where you can find our Q4 Scope and Sequence 2021-2022 Scope & Sequence. 

To fill out this year’s Q4 Scope and Sequence, you might want to refer to the skills you focused on this time last year in this Q4 Scope and Sequence 2020-2021.

Please link your planning to the Scope and Sequence as you did for our Q2 Scope and Sequence. We want to give you some autonomy as to how you organize your planning and resources but your planning needs to be in an ISY Shared Drive. 

Please also check off the standards that you intend to cover in your subject in Quarter 4. Please make sure there is an ‘x’ in the second column of any standard you will cover in these Grade Level Standards Checklists.

Homeroom teachers – please finalize your Enduring Understanding and Essential Questions for this unit.

Please enter your Enduring Understanding and Essential Questions into the Scope and Sequence Document by the end of the day on Friday.

This will allow specialist teachers to connect to it from the beginning of the quarter.  

Please strive to integrate our Mission and Vision, Attributes and the SDGs (which inevitably hit our strategic themes) into this last quarter.

Consider how what was covered in our Compassion Conference might help us integrate Service and Action.
