Yesterday in Ms. Tran's PBL class, we welcomed our college counselors, Ms. Shih and Ms. Kuo, for a special session on the theme of belonging and needs. They introduced this topic through the metaphor of a "class container."

The session began with a short mindfulness meditation, which helps students reflect and center themselves before diving into discussion. Together, they explored what makes their class feel safe and connected, what their needs are, and how those needs can be met.

To bring their ideas to life, students created a real "class container", which is a box filled with sticky notes representing their collective thoughts and feelings.

This activity ties into their ongoing PBL project, Building Belonging, which will culminate in the December PBL Exhibition. We're excited to see how their ideas evolve and take shape! 

昨天在 Ms. Tran 的 PBL 課堂中，我們特別邀請 VIS 高中部 College counselor Ms. Shih 與 Ms. Kuo，以「歸屬感與需求」為題給學生們上課。她們用「班級容器（class container）」作為隱喻，啟發學生思考「歸屬」的意涵。

課程以一段簡短的正念冥想揭開序幕，讓學生在靜心中重新聚焦與省思。隨後，全班共同討論如何營造安全、互信的學習環境，了解自身需求，並探索滿足彼此需求的方法。

為了讓理念具體呈現，學生親手打造了一個裝滿便利貼的盒子作為「班級容器」，記錄著全班的共同心聲與情感。

這項活動正呼應他們正在進行的 PBL 專題「Building Belonging」，他們將於十二月的 PBL 展覽中發表學習成果。我們期待屆時見證這份凝聚力如何開花結果，化為真實的歸屬與連結。
