Today we did a circle talk about us and the people we care about with Ms. Galligos. We discuss who we were proud of in terms of adults, elders and teens. Then, we talked about why we were proud of ourselves. The AWOKB that I chose to go with this activity is “The deepest learning takes place through lived experience. It requires exploring our identities, learning from our mistakes, and having gratitude for our gifts.” I chose this AWOKB because every time we shared; we were not repeating something we had learned in a textbook. We were sharing from our personal memories and learning from other memories. The circle talk brought out so much gratitude for our parents, grandparents and peers. Everyone shared a small story about themselves or someone they cared about and we all learned a bit more about each other. I really liked the activity because I feel like it forced us out of our comfort zones a little bit and made us look up from our laptops and connect with one another.
