Lesson of the Week Winner for 5/16/2022 - 5/20/2022
Congratulations to Ms. Parsons!
While Ms. Parsons' class has been focusing on dystopian societies, the culture and climate of Room 206 is definitely something closer to utopian! Ms. Parsons centers the environment around social emotional learning routines, with each class beginning with an SEL check in. This particular lesson focused on the story "Harrison Bergeron" by acclaimed writer Kurt Vonnegut. Students were able to choose the mode through which they explored the story, whether it be written text or listening to the audiobook. If you asked any student in the class, the centralized theme of this week's lesson was to celebrate individuality and understand that perfection will not always look the same to everyone. We congratulate Ms. Parsons on her continued commitment to excite and engage the students of RMS and her genuine care for their social emotional well-being. While perfection may not look the same to everyone, this lesson looked like near perfection to us! Congratulations Ms. Parsons!
