Take this nugget of future thinking to build into the TOY essays. The tru reasons I'm doing what I'm doing. Look at all of it through the lens of future needs of our students. 

 

The Greek and Latin roots study vocabulary is a perfect example. Not only does language historically use these roots, (so we are widening our kids' possibilities with medical and engineering and legal occupations by teaching it in the 9th grade), but also language of the future will return to them, and we are at the beginning of a new language boom like we've never seen. This article shows the power of the vocabulary roots now, and hints at the future power we'll be giving our students if we teach them as much as we can while we have them.

Some 200 times stronger than steel yet lighter than paper and more flexible than a contortionist, graphene is hailed as a miracle material with the potential to revolutionize products and processes across industries from consumer electronics to biomedicine.   Available on the App Store.
