Great Big Questions
Live Oak’s curriculum and educational program is designed to provide access and challenge for all students. It's a great big invitation to pursue curiosities while collecting the skills and knowledge that lead to more wonders. This starts with questions, great big questions! This starts on the first day of school!
What does it look like to be courageous as a learner?
How can you use legos to build something that explains you?
What is a skill you would like to learn?
How will my teacher know what I know?
What different ways can you enjoy a book?
How are we alike around the world?
How do you do your best work?
What types of values and expectations make a productive community?
These and other questions posed to our students in the first days of school set the context for the year ahead. They say to children, implicitly and explicitly, that your thoughts and perspectives matter here. They provide motivation for learners to contribute their thoughts to the world and witness their thinking impact their communities. They affirm that our students’ capacities are broad, deep, and boundless. They give the mind practice with complexities and uncertainties in order to create comfort in the pursuit of understanding and the expression of creativity.
In the middle of the morning on the first day of school, a kindergartner asked me a great big question: “Why is kindergarten so important for children?” She already senses what it is like to learn at Live Oak!
Our great big questions spark more questions and fuel the development of the potential and promise that exists in every one of our Live Oak students.
Welcome Back to School! We’ve missed your questions!
