Student Voice, Choice, and Flexibility

We could have chosen cubbies for them. We have in the past. But this year we are intentionally pushing Voice, Choice, and Flexibility. It's about ownership over oneself in relation to others, the environment, and own learning. 

So the kids were asked "Which cubby do you want? Why or what makes you want it?" 

"I like the silver thing (a screw inside)."

"I want to be near my friend." 

"I like look outside."

"I don't know."

This boy just pointed, then wrote a meaningful message, a symbol that will always lead him to the right place.
