Mindful Monday 🌟 On Friday, our sixth-grade social science students dove deep into ancient Chinese philosophies with a modern twist! 🧠✨ They selected well-known characters who align with the key ideas of Confucianism, Daoism, and Legalism. In their presentations, students explained how their chosen characters embody these philosophies and found meaningful quotes from (or about) each character to support their claims. This exercise encourages our students to think critically about values, actions, and beliefs—linking ancient wisdom to the world around them. It’s amazing to see our students connecting past and present in such creative ways. Go, sixth graders! 🙌📜 #MindfulMonday #BulldogPride
