This Month’s Student WooStar: Chloe Eyaguobor, Fifth Grade, Effective Communicator at Vernon Hill School ⭐️
“Chloe is a multitalented 5th grade student, who has a generous heart and is always willing to help others. In addition to being a fabulous student, she has recently added “Published Author” to her resume! She recently wrote her first children’s book: “Panda Loves Bamboo” with illustrations done by a peer of hers. Panda Loves Bamboo is a heartwarming children’s story about kindness, honesty, and second chances. Since releasing her first book, she has had the opportunity to serve as a reader for a 2nd grade classroom for Read Across America. She then inspired that classroom teacher to use her book for a focused book study with those students. Finally, she has had the opportunity to present at Clark University alongside her principal Tammy Boyle, her peer illustrator, and another VH educator. They presented a project to a Children’s Literature Class to share about the importance of centering books with diverse authors in the classroom and community.”
This demonstrates that Chloe is an Effective Communicator, a key disposition of the Vision of a Learner framework. Chloe can express complex ideas with clarity and purpose in a variety of formats based on the audience (EC 2).
This Month’s Staff WooStar: David Romero, Spanish Teacher & Department Head at Forest Grove Middle School ⭐️
“David is a dynamic language teacher who always goes above and beyond! His lessons are engaging and give our students lots of opportunity to build their language skills and cultural understanding. As a colleague, he shares resources and is always willing to lend a hand. He and the Forest Grove World Language team have created amazing family engagement events to celebrate the languages and cultures of our students.”
