Cultivating Ownership of Learning in Third Grade

Third grader Elise L. shares a sisterly moment on the playground! "This is one of the first years where students are able to start owning learning for themselves," says third grade teacher Hayley Fleming. "Cultivating that ownership is super exciting for me as a teacher. My prayer would be that at the end of the year my students are learning to ask good questions and have the desire to learn, that they’d be inspired to learn. I hope they take away the beginning of a life-long love of learning and discovery."
