Learning Goal: We will gain a better understanding of how our children are learning through the SAIL philosophy.

SC: I can identify the skills that my child will attain at JASS.

SC: I will be able to explain how SAIL is a part of my childs everyday learning.

SC: I know how to be connected with my child's Google Classroom

This is not what learning looks like anymore
