Are we able to name the Big Ideas that we are learning in class?  We believe that with intentional teaching and speaking to the Big Ideas regularly as part of the everyday teaching, the students are able to talk about the Big Ideas moreso this year than they were able to last year.  Overall, they speak more articulately and with more confidence.  Their eyes lit up with recognition and awareness.  There were also students who struggled naming the Big Ideas, so that tells us that there is still room for growth and learning.  #Growthmindset
