How We Learn

 

The fourth and fifth grade years are such a special time of transition and growing independence. At Arroyo we strive to support each child’s developmental needs at this stage. This includes: 

  • Helping students develop a sense of ownership for their learning and encouraging independence, goal setting, and a growth mindset
  • Engaging students in project-based learning to deepen their collaboration, communication and critical thinking skills
  • Supporting parents as partners in their child’s educational journey

 

These same student skills, mindsets and dispositions are also embedded in the Learner Profile in our newly updated SCSD Strategic Plan. The Learner Profile is our roadmap for bringing SCSD’s mission to life, and you’ll hear us talking more throughout the upcoming year about the ways in which we are leaning into this with our 4th and 5th graders.
