Ms. Ruzynski held a digital wellbeing facilitated conversation with students grade 5-12 to listen to and learn from students to better understand how their use of technology and digital media is impacting them. We recognize that students are navigating a complex world of technology and digital media every day. Students reported that the conversation did allow for open sharing and it gave them an opportunity to consider tech's impact on their wellbeing. We are grateful to Ms. Ruzynski for bringing digital wellbeing to our Floodwood community!
Ms. Ruzynski has been working with Live More Screen Less to help our students learn more about their digital wellbeing. Here is a link to learn more: https://livemorescreenless.org/

7th & 8th Grade Update of Goings On!!
For this spirited and opinionated group, they have just finished the second novel as a class this year by author Jason Reynolds called All American Boys. His stories tell compelling truths about growing up, negotiating difficult middle and high school environments, and learning to accept each other’s differences.
Students did a nice job fettering out what life lesson the author was holding up for us to examine as well as learning how bias and prejudices can happen. Students are ready for their novel projects; we will be starting soon. I am preparing hands-on group projects for this active and motivated class!
In the meantime, we are working on grammar and vocabulary. We have begun sentence structure and punctuation since we are preparing to begin formal writing. We have recently completed our first set of vocabulary from the novel. Students did VERY WELL! This is a smart group, and I look forward to continuing to study with them.
