The Week in Reflection: 9/2

Valuing Hard Work

Picture
Work is one of the greatest ways that we can give back to our community, state, country, and the world. What we do can be looked through various lenses. Regardless of our perspective, our work matters. This Monday we take time to pause our 'work' as a simple reminder of the value of our contributions. More importantly, Labor Day is an opportunity to spend quality time with our family.

It has been warm lately, but soon we will see the change of scenery and be reminded how short summer is in Northeast Ohio. Yet, for most people in Chardon, we become acclimated to the upcoming season and shortened days. We remember that this is nature's way of nurturing itself after a long year. After the last year and a half, we could all appreciate a change in scenery.

This is a perfect time for each of us to remember the simple things in life: Faith, Family, and Friends.  For many people in Chardon, these reminders come in all shapes and sizes.  They emulate stories, memories, and a reminder of how short our time can be with people. 

Faith can remind us of our own humanity, or even trusting another person. Having faith gives us a sense of hope and optimism in demonstrating our dignity to all people. The new season can provide us the opportunity to rekindle our belief and hope in humanity by the actions and responses that we demonstrate to others.

Family is the root of our own autonomy. Growing up, we depend so much on our own parents and relatives to nurture and guide us through good and bad times. As we get older, we begin to develop independence from our family and we begin to gain--and sometimes-- lose their trust.  CHS students aren't immune to these changes.  We value that every student has their own story, values, and routines ---but what is essential is that our children take the time to recognize the importance of how family time allows for their independence to guide their choices and behaviors.

Friends are essential to our development regardless of our age.  We value the beauty of authentic communication that allows us to grow in our abilities in and out of school. Technology is a wonderful tool that allows us to communicate. It can become a double-edged sword in our ability to develop meaningful and long lasting relationships. Sending a quick message may suffice for a moment, but what interconnects us as humans is our ability to talk, share, and think in meaningful discussions.

Transitioning to school life: Faith, Family, and Friends can connect us to a bigger story; a community. I am proud to see how our community has grown and transformed our values into something bigger than words on paper.  As we quickly move into this new season, seize the opportunities to spend more time with the simple things in life...because we all are experiencing how life goes in the fast-lane. 

​Be You, Be Kind, Be the reason someone smiles today.

AP Environmental Science participated in a Biome Gallery walk. The goal of this project is for students to describe the global distribution and principal environmental aspects of terrestrial and aquatic biomes. In teams of two, students created posters that included features of the biomes such as climate, location, biodiversity, organismal interactions and human impacts. Students then utilized these posters to document the main features of the earth's biomes. 

Picture
Honors Biology class began the Bubble survivorship lab. This lab not only allows the students to review the  steps of the scientific method, but it is also an opportunity for  them to examine the relationship between parental care and organismal survivorship. Students will analyze the data using statistical formulas and graphing and determine whether or not their hypotheses were supported. ​
