Week 4 - SMART Goals

This week has introduced many more firsts for our Acton Eagles!

This week, Eagles began setting SMART goals.  These goals focus and drive their Core Skills time, encouraging Eagles to take control of their learning.  At the end of each work session, Eagles do a quick reflection of their work and progress.  

 

Eagles wrote the final stories of their Memoirs and will be working to revise and edit next week, preparing their pieces to be shared at the Exhibition. 

 

We completed our first trial of the Acton Olympics, where Eagles are tested in 4 areas; max plank hold, 40 yard dash, 1 minute of burpees, and a long run (400m ish).  Our Eagles had some awesome accomplishments! 

In a few months, Eagles will be challenged to beat their previous scores. 

In art, we explored nature by creating Journey Sticks.  We also learned about the art of pointillism and used the technique to create our own masterpieces. 

 The Eagles are hard at work refining their studio into a place where kindness, individuality, and hard work are celebrated.
