I am impressed by the all school response to the Pay It Forward all school write. Thank you for taking this risk and seeing what the SMARTER Balanced assessment will ask for and for supporting our Learner Qualities which are a part of PBIS.
This project also included the phases of inquiry...
IMMERSE- The idea of Pay It Forward. Ask questions.
INVESTIGATE- Watch video clips and read articles while annotating learning.
COALESCE- Make sense of how they can pay it forward.
GO PUBLIC- Writing Narrative, Opinion, Informative.
GO PUBLIC- Writing Narrative, Opinion, Informative.

Check out the trailer below and maybe rent or stream it.
The third grade team will be leading the all school meeting focusing on this topic and celebrating student ideas! I am looking forward to it.
We IMMERSED and INVESTIGATED the topic with the PowerPoint including videos and text.

Here are some quotes that came from Mrs. Stubbendick's class. This is in the COALESCE Stage!
"Anyone who has the power to see has the power to do!" Ryan
"Accept the act with kindness!" Ainsley
"It makes me notice the little things people had done for
me!" Courtney
"Paying it forward is like a life cycle!" Ben
It's a chain of goodwill!" Unknown
Check out a video from Mrs. A's Class. This is a great example of the GO PUBLIC Stage. Boy, Heidi Hayes- Jacobs would be so happy!
Please share your reflections from the all school write in the COMMENTS section. What worked? What suggestions do you have for improvement?
I am looking forward to you working with your SMART Team on creating a similar reading/ writing experience around a content area your grade level will be studying in February and March. Watch for more information.

I loved everything about this Pay it Forward writing activity. Thanks to all that put in the effort to make it easy for us to use. Did anyone else find they needed more than two days? I'm excited to conclude the activity with the All School Meeting.
