Precept for April 14th:

" The universe is what you illustrate it to be." 

How will you illustrate your universe today? 

Hello Marymount Learners! I hope you had a restful Holy Week with your family.  This is the first post on this new blog.  I am very excited about this project. I hope that we can make the best of it.  I am looking forward to connecting with you !

We are entering the second phase of our e-learning program.  As you probably heard, all schools and universities will be in quarantine until May 31st.  I know this was tough news to hear but we cannot forget the purpose of our confinement: to protect ourselves and others. So as hard as it may seem to understand all of this, let's make the best of this time at home with our families, let's not forget to connect with our friends and let't take this new mode of schooling as an opportunity to learn more about ourselves as learners...think about it???  This is probably the first time in your life that you are experiencing a completely new learning environment.  Your learning identity has probably been shaken....can you share with me : What has the e-learning experience taught you about how you learn best?  What has the e-learning experience taught you about how you can be a stronger self- directed learner?   I look forward to your posts!   Miss you, Mrs. Anabella

Just follow the day and reach for the sun!

Just follow the day and reach for the sun!  The Polyphonic Spree Dear Marymount Learners: I have started this post with the precept for today.  Following the day and reaching for the sun means to take things as they come with humility and enthusiasm, but always reaching for excellence...always aiming high to do our best in whatever tasks lay ahead of us.  When we hear that we need to take things as they come we might think that we can stay in our comfort zone, passively waiting for things to happen.  I invite you to think the contrary: to consider that there are things out of our control and that trying to control them can lead to frustration. Nevertheless, even when we think that we don't have options or possibility of choice, we always do.  Focusing on those things that we can control will strengthen us, give us choice, and ultimately make us free.  Let's take what we are living right now: the COVID -19 crisis has forced us into a situation w...

LENS 1: WORLD

Hello Marymount Learners: Welcome to a new and different school year! As I mentioned in our first Life assembly today, after my intervention in these I will post a question related to the topic or reflection we engaged during our session.  Today we started our "How to view school in the future"  lenses series: the first of 5 reflections we will be doing together.  The first lens relates to understanding how the current situation can bring us together as the world and foster authentic engagement with global issues.  So if truly "we are all in this together"...   WHAT IMPLICATIONS DOES THIS HAVE FOR YOUR ROLE AS A MARYMOUNT STUDENT? WHAT IMPLICATIONS DOES THIS HAVE FOR ALL OF US THE MARYMOUNT COMMUNITY?  I look forward to reading your thoughts. Have a great week!  I miss you 💙💙

 Lens 2: Purpose Hello Marymount Learners. On Monday we engaged with our second lens to view schools in this new context brought forth by the Covid-19 contingency. This is the lens of purpose and it invites us to embrace the purpose of school as "learning" and not "schooling" .   The question for us to reflect on then is : If there were no grades, would you, students, still learn?   As always, I look forward to your thoughts.   Have a wonderful week!
