Rigor can begin from Day One even with the little ones.
I like to use this book to introduce Multiple Perspectives:
IIt's all about school from the school's point of view. The students can then write/draw what they think our school felt on the first day.
I also like the classic:
How do parents feel on the first day? If you were a parent what would you do?
A story about a gung-ho principal who wants to have school every day. We discuss what the principal does and then students write about how it feels to be a principal. What would they do if they were a principal?
I think this video is really fascinating. I show clips to Compare perspectives-it's easy for you to go to school-what if it wasn't? Would you value school more?
