COMMUNITY
A friendly group of people—like students, teachers, and friends—who work together, share ideas, and help each other learn new things
What is a learning community?
Content is what we explore. It is a non-living thing, therefore it is an abiotic element in our Johnsonville ecosystem.
Is content a biotic or abiotic element of our JOHNSONVILLE ecosystem?
Make sure that we remember to enter our discussions respectfully by agreeing with, adding on to or respectfully introducing a new thought.
In an ecosystem, how can we be sure to hear and listen to each other?

What content resource do we use to explore the eight math practices?
A moment of slience benefits our ecosystem because it allows for each of us to share something that we are concerned about.

An ecosystem's biotic elements are its living parts. An ecosystem's ABIOTIC elements are its non-living parts.
What are the biotic and abiotic elements in an ecosystem?
Yes! Content is always better explored when we learn using more than one content area.
Can two content areas work together on one project?
In Johnsonville, we have large group discussions and small group discussions, we also talk in pairs. We are learning and talking all the time!
While we are a small community, are we talking and learning the same things?
Johnsonville includes abiotic and biotic elements
Is Johnsonville an ecosystem?
An ecosystem must have both abiotic and biotic elements in order to thrive.
Can an ecosystem survive without abiotic elements?
Our ecosystem is based on the idea that everyone is important and that our ecosystem needs each person.
How does our ecosystem help us make sure that everyone feels seen and heard?
Content and conversations are the abiotic elements that help make the students and teacher thrive together.
How do biotic and abiotic elements work together to build a successful Johnsonville ecosystem?
We also explore things like Flocabulary to extend our learning
Other than textbooks, are any other abiotic learning tools used in our ecosystem?
Everyone respecting each other can only mean that our abiotic and biotic elements are working and that our ecosystem is thriving.
