September Word of the Month (Culture)

Each month our staff will be introducing a new vocabulary word centered around student background and cultural diversity.  The word culture is being explored throughout various morning meetings and activities.  We are defining culture as a shared way of life, common values, beliefs, and traditions.  Feel free to make a comment regarding student thoughts on culture or teacher beliefs on why this is an important topic.

Thank you Woodbrook staff for your implementation of the "Word of the Month." I have seen the word posted on many classroom word walls. Some of you have shared how discussing this word has supported your curriculum.

I put the word culture on my word wall so that students can include it in their writing.
