Dragon Dens Oct. 3 Recap
Oct. 3 was our first Dragon Den meeting of the school year! We read a book called the I Am We: A Book of Community“
We had around 26 Dragon Dens led by all teachers and many staff members. Each den is made up of a mix of students from kindergarten to fifth grade. Many thanks to our fearless teacher leaders that serve on the school’s Dragon Den committee!
Dragon Dens School-wide Event
Dragon Dens are a school-wide event. Students in grades K-5 are placed into multi-grade “dens” with a “den leaders.” Den leaders are school staff, like school leaders, teachers, librarian, counselor, and support staff.
Each Dragon Den reads the same picture book aloud and completes a correlating activity based on the theme of the book. We also have snacks! Themes may include topics like inclusion, empathy, or kindness. Dragon Dens allow our students to make peer connections across campus, get to know another familiar adult on campus, and discover a sense of community within our school.
