September  ___, 2008 

Greetings everyone,

     We will be exercising our memory and imagination today!

      Use your memory to write down the BIG IDEAS from what we have learned this year. I want you to take five minutes to write down what you remember about the following:

Boys number 1 – 5:

     The Greeting Circle – What makes the circle useful to you and your classmates?

Boys number 6 – 10:

      The Haverford Pledge – What makes the pledge worth remembering?

Boys number 11 – 15:

      The Fish! Philosophy – What big ideas from fish are worth remembering?

      We will share the BIG IDEAS from what we have learned, and use those ideas along with our imagination to complete the Decisions vs. Outcomes exercise.

Respectfully,

Mr. B
