What's Happening this month

Welcome to the Anton Grdina January 2024 Family Newsletter!


Hello to the parents (guardians), community stakeholders, Anton Grdina staff, and scholars!


The word of the month for February is RESPECT. Respect is a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements. It also means due regard for the feelings, wishes, rights, or traditions of others.


"Knowledge will give you power, but character respect" - Bruce Lee

Inquiry Based Learning

Ms. Muhammad's classes have been developing their questioning skills with the Question Formulation Technique

The QFT builds the skill of asking questions, an essential — yet often overlooked — lifelong learning skill that allows people to think critically, feel greater power and self-efficacy, and become more confident and ready to participate in civic life.

The steps of the QFT are designed to stimulate three types of thinking: divergent thinking, convergent thinking, and metacognitive thinking.
