least twice a year. With the younger ages, to review the Compass Points I put four large (A3 size) laminated sheets on the floor with N, E, S, and W. I give each student a picture and have them stand on which point they think it belongs to. For the youngest students the pictures are very simplistic, and the pictures are more complex for older students; this invites conversation about those items that could go in more than one point.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15268 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Picture1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"161\" height=\"157\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15269 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/compasseducation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Picture2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"177\" height=\"157\" \/><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then I choose a book, preferably linked to the class\u2019 current Unit of Inquiry, and we spend several sessions discussing the book, using the Sustainability Compass to help organize, deepen and connect the discussion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In EY1-2 students look at the ways we play to learn and express our feelings and ideas during the Unit of Inquiry How We Express Ourselves.
