Hope everyone is feeling optimistic about 2023 and ready to make the most of it as we set new goals and work towards making it happen.

Routine and Rituals Matter...

The main feature of this ML Muster is all about sharing our new routine and ritual with our families. This has been communicated in previous ML Musters; however, we did want to highlight this again, so we are all on the same page.

Avoiding the Monday to Friday Grind...

While routines and rituals matter, we also believe that this 6 Day schedule will remove the predictable events that can often make things feel like it is 'ground-hog day.' Our new routine will keep things fresh, vibrant, and interesting for learning to take place. 

The below visuals provide how we have structured each day, what we are focusing on and why this is important.

Unique Days (Day C and Day F)

As a Project-based learning school, we aim to integrate disciplines (subjects) to enrich the learning experience. We know that when this is done well, students are able to engage in a different context and apply that knowledge to different situations. 

We also understand that a balance is needed as well in terms of explicitly teaching fundamental concepts as a single discipline (subject) to reinforce students' knowledge base and skills. A big focus behind our shift towards a 6 Day Schedule was to enhance the need to explicitly focus on the subject (content) matter to build greater knowledge. The PBL approach then takes that knowledge and allows students to transfer and apply it to demonstrate their competency level.

Below are the Day C and Day F schedules for each cohort. One cohort will have increased Explore Project time while the other cohort focuses on the explicit fundamentals of acquiring necessary knowledge. 

STEM LAB (Science, technology, Engineering, Math)

Robotics Workshops

Science LAB

Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Environmental Science Workshops

Music & Performing Arts

Creativity, Expression, and Communication through music and performance

Well-Being+

Holistic Health and Physical Movement

Visual Arts

Creativity, Expression, and Communication through 2D and 3D fine Arts

All of these new LABS and WORKSHOPS will be assessed and students will receive feedback on their learning.

Day A, B, D, and E we now offer explicit literacy for our EAL students and mainstream English Language Arts students too.

Day Schedule (Day A - Day F)

The Letter Days for the remainder of the year are posted outside the classrooms, Day C and Day F are in orange to show the level of frequency. Math Lab, Learning Lab, Well-Being Lab, Chinese, and Thai still remain the same as key components of our ML Curriculum. Our ML science labs, robotics, computer lab, and maker space are set up to deliver a high level of education that complements our ML program.
