This week, I didn’t really do much. I worked on my unit 4 Send – in Assignment for NVOL, and I did some What In the World about Antarctica. I also finished my Learning Guide, and I worked on my Discord Bot. I had taekwondo Monday through Thursday and Orchestra AND leadership on Saturday. I also injured my foot while pretending to jog in the house… I twisted it on Thrusday 🙁
Thank you for the Zoom! I enjoyed talking with you about your Fall Connection. I’ve added a few notes below from the call.
Best,
Shannon
Ethan’s year has been going well and loves what he’s doing this year. He’s doing a very different approach than last year. This year is more of a challenge, more formal learning, more interesting. Change in LC as well.
This year Ethan keeps a journal of task lists and this helps him known what he needs to work on, and he’s finding it useful.
Ethan likes the questions I send, so I will continue doing this.
He found the Fall Connection activity fairly easy, and thought for about thirty minutes, did the work himself, then reviewed it with his parents. He found the three stars easy, but found it more difficult to make a goal for himself.
Happy Fall Connections!
I’ve sent emailed information about this Fall Connections activity to parents/guardians. Please take a look through this activity, and write your responses in the chart below. If you’ve booked a phone/Zoom meeting with me for Fall Connections, we’ll discuss the activity in our meeting. If we’re not meeting for Fall Connections, please also write an answer for the question at the bottom. about your experiences with the activity.
Best,

Before beginning this activity consider this list of I Can… statements. You can use text, photos, videos, audio, drawings, stories, artifacts, or anything you want to accompany your answers.
| I CAN Statement(s) |
| Add one or two of the I CAN…competency statements here. |
| I can communicate for a purpose. I can gather the basic information I need and present it.I can synthesize, deepen, and transform my own and others’ thinking. |
| 3 Stars | |
| Share three ways you are already using this (these) I CAN…competency in your daily life. In what ways do they shine? | |
 I can communic | I can communicate for a purpose by my YouTube channel, by sharing information to help others learn, and also maybe also learn something on the way!I can gather information and present it by my YouTube and my writing projects where I write down all my thoughts and facts that I’ve gathered in my research.I can synthesize, deepen, and transform my own and others’ thinking by helping people learn things by explaining them pretty well by teaching them in an online meeting, or record my “teaching” and share it! In doing so, I can transform my own understanding by figuring something out during my “teaching.” For example, my chess club! I was trying to teach chess to a person who didn’t know how to play, and I was able to refresh and learn a few things along the way! |
| 1 Wish | |
| Share one wish.How would you like to grow or improve in this core competency area this year? What will you do? | |
 | I would like to improve how I share information online by getting planned out what I’m going to share, and how I’m going to share this information BEFORE I teach it to somebody. For example, I want to try and plan out my YouTube videos instead of just recording and hoping it will turn out well. I would try and make a list of things I want to talk about and what I want to do before I start recording so that I have a good step-by-step list to follow. |

If you are writing your Fall Connection Core Competency activity yourself rather than doing a Zoom/phone meeting, please also write several sentences about your experience with this activity. You may wish to include the following in your response: How did you choose which “I Can” statement to select? Why is this Core Competency important to you? What parts of the activity (selecting the statement, identifying where you shine, naming a wish) are easier for you and which are more difficult? Is there anything you’d like your Learning Consultant’s help with as you work towards your “I Can” statement wish this year?
