RadSicahnoso l NEW ACADEMIC YEAR 
KICKS OFF WITH 
ENTHUSIASTIC 
STUDENTS 
Tell me and I'll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. 
Involve me, and I'll understand. 
~Native American Saying 
In PBL (Project-Based Learning), students are 
active, not passive; a project engages their 
hearts and minds, and provides real-world 
relevance for learning. 
As we begin this new academic year, we 
see the bright and enthusiastic faces of 
our students yearning for knowledge. 
Exceptional students require exceptional 
teaching. As a school offering non-traditional 
education, we allow our 
students to experience their education in 
a very different manner… as active 
participants. 
Radians School students learn by having 
direct experiences in the classroom. 
Project-based learning is a dynamic 
classroom approach in which students 
actively explore real-world problems and 
challenges and also acquire a deeper 
knowledge. 
Studies demonstrate that PBL students 
remember learned content for longer 
periods of time. PBL students view 
themselves as better prepared in 
problem-solving and perform better in 
tasks that emphasize understanding and 
application of knowledge. 
In the 21st century workplace, success 
requires more than basic knowledge and 
skills. In PBL, students not only 
understand content more deeply but also 
learn how to take responsibility and 
build confidence, solve problems, work 
collaboratively, communicate ideas, and 
be creative innovators. 
Photos above and below, Middle school and High School 
students actively engaged in “flipped classroom” 
science learning activities. 
ISSUE 1 SEPTEMBER, 2014 
A VIRTUES-BASED COMMUNITY
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard 
battle. ~Plato 
Article by Shaya Kass, PhD 
I just read a fascinating article about some 
research about being kind. I had never really 
thought of it, but the authors make a good point 
that kindness is the “other side of the coin” of 
gratitude. 
In their words, they said “Whereas gratitude results 
when people receive kindness from other people, 
kindness entails enacting kind behavior toward 
other people.” Having said this, it is no surprise that 
kindness makes people happy since we already know 
that gratitude makes people happier. 
And being kind will make your child feel good. There 
is actually a release of endorphins in your body 
when you are kind. Endorphins are similar to mor-phine. 
You actually feel good when you are kind. I 
wonder if our kids can become addicted to being kind? 
What a great addiction that would be! And you sure 
wouldn't need any anti-depressants with that kind of 
addiction! 
The researchers measured kindness in a few different 
ways. One way was to ask the participants how often 
they thought others were kind to them, how often they 
were motivated to be kind to others and how often 
they actually were kind to others. I think that first 
question is probably the step before gratitude. Once 
we recognize that someone has been kind to us, we 
can be grateful for it. 
The researchers also gave the participants a happiness 
measure. Not surprisingly, those people who were 
happier were kinder. Or is it that those people who 
were kinder were happier? 
Either way, we can learn an important lesson. There is 
a connection between kindness and happiness. So 
as with most other areas of happiness, we get to “kill 
two birds with one stone!” Those things that bring 
happiness are generally good things to do like being 
grateful, being kind and being self-compassionate. 
Kindness can be toward friends or strangers. We can 
help our kids be kind to family members and teachers. 
Kindness toward any of these will help make us 
happy. 
Happy people scored high in all three areas of 
happiness. They wanted to be kind, they recognized 
kindness more than unhappy people, and they 
have more kind behaviors. 
So what are some ideas for kind acts? How about a 
smile? Let's teach our kids to give passersby a smile. 
And we can give store-clerks a smile. Our kids can 
even smile to the driver in the car next to us. Or 
perhaps we can do a simple loving-kindness 
meditation. 
Even a small act like this can help your child to 
have a better day and make them happier. This 
happiness can spread throughout your family and 
improve all the relationships and interactions. How 
great would that be! 
Why We ShouldTeach Our Kids To Be Kind

ERCSA Agricultural Program Ready for 
Research and Investigation Projects 
Last year our ERCSA Agricultural Project took off with the implemen-tation 
of a hydroponic system which produced untold amounts of let-tuce 
which was sold to the public. “This year, the hydroponics system 
will be expanded to produce even more lettuce and many other types of 
produce,” said Prof. Jose Caballero. 
As always, students participate actively in the ERCSA program via the 
elective course offered by Prof. Luz Burgos. Students, young and old, 
are encouraged to pursue research in the center under the auspices of 
their science teachers. This program has been featured in El Nuevo 
Día and Univision; it has received grants from both Walden 
University and the Private Schools Association of Puerto Rico. We 
will continue to grow and we look forward to great things this year. 
Radians School Promotes Community Service as an 
Important Part of an Integral Education 
“Why is community service such an 
important quality and trait for a person to 
possess?” Without community service 
people would not know the meaning of 
charity and giving back. Community service 
can be defined as a service that is per-formed 
for the benefit of the public. Commu-nity 
service is not a responsibility or an obli-gation; 
it is a commitment. A person must 
want to do it with good intentions and not 
because they are being forced to do so. Basi-cally, 
community service is a way for a 
person to give back to a community in which 
they live. 
School Cafeteria Pay-For-It Program 
A quick reminder for parents that they can use the Pay-For-It 
system to allow their children to purchase lunch at the school 
cafeteria. You can check the menu for the week online at our 
school website. You can also deposit to the account at the 
school’s Pay Office (in the Administration Building).

Radians School News Letter, Issue 1 september 2014

  • 1. RadSicahnoso l NEW ACADEMIC YEAR KICKS OFF WITH ENTHUSIASTIC STUDENTS Tell me and I'll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I'll understand. ~Native American Saying In PBL (Project-Based Learning), students are active, not passive; a project engages their hearts and minds, and provides real-world relevance for learning. As we begin this new academic year, we see the bright and enthusiastic faces of our students yearning for knowledge. Exceptional students require exceptional teaching. As a school offering non-traditional education, we allow our students to experience their education in a very different manner… as active participants. Radians School students learn by having direct experiences in the classroom. Project-based learning is a dynamic classroom approach in which students actively explore real-world problems and challenges and also acquire a deeper knowledge. Studies demonstrate that PBL students remember learned content for longer periods of time. PBL students view themselves as better prepared in problem-solving and perform better in tasks that emphasize understanding and application of knowledge. In the 21st century workplace, success requires more than basic knowledge and skills. In PBL, students not only understand content more deeply but also learn how to take responsibility and build confidence, solve problems, work collaboratively, communicate ideas, and be creative innovators. Photos above and below, Middle school and High School students actively engaged in “flipped classroom” science learning activities. ISSUE 1 SEPTEMBER, 2014 A VIRTUES-BASED COMMUNITY
  • 2. Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. ~Plato Article by Shaya Kass, PhD I just read a fascinating article about some research about being kind. I had never really thought of it, but the authors make a good point that kindness is the “other side of the coin” of gratitude. In their words, they said “Whereas gratitude results when people receive kindness from other people, kindness entails enacting kind behavior toward other people.” Having said this, it is no surprise that kindness makes people happy since we already know that gratitude makes people happier. And being kind will make your child feel good. There is actually a release of endorphins in your body when you are kind. Endorphins are similar to mor-phine. You actually feel good when you are kind. I wonder if our kids can become addicted to being kind? What a great addiction that would be! And you sure wouldn't need any anti-depressants with that kind of addiction! The researchers measured kindness in a few different ways. One way was to ask the participants how often they thought others were kind to them, how often they were motivated to be kind to others and how often they actually were kind to others. I think that first question is probably the step before gratitude. Once we recognize that someone has been kind to us, we can be grateful for it. The researchers also gave the participants a happiness measure. Not surprisingly, those people who were happier were kinder. Or is it that those people who were kinder were happier? Either way, we can learn an important lesson. There is a connection between kindness and happiness. So as with most other areas of happiness, we get to “kill two birds with one stone!” Those things that bring happiness are generally good things to do like being grateful, being kind and being self-compassionate. Kindness can be toward friends or strangers. We can help our kids be kind to family members and teachers. Kindness toward any of these will help make us happy. Happy people scored high in all three areas of happiness. They wanted to be kind, they recognized kindness more than unhappy people, and they have more kind behaviors. So what are some ideas for kind acts? How about a smile? Let's teach our kids to give passersby a smile. And we can give store-clerks a smile. Our kids can even smile to the driver in the car next to us. Or perhaps we can do a simple loving-kindness meditation. Even a small act like this can help your child to have a better day and make them happier. This happiness can spread throughout your family and improve all the relationships and interactions. How great would that be! Why We ShouldTeach Our Kids To Be Kind SOURCE: http://positiveparentplus.com/teach-kindness/ This article is included here because it is in accordance with the our virtues-based community philosophy.
  • 4. RADIANS SCHOOL The Smart Choice for YOUR Child’s Future Success!! “A quality education has the power to transform societies in a single generation, provide children with the protection they need from the hazards of poverty, labor exploitation and disease, and given them the knowledge, skills, and confidence to reach their full potential.” ~ Audrey Hepburn The FIRST and still the ONLY school in Puerto Rico recognized as a NATIONAL SCHOOL of CHARACTER Two-Time Recipient of the National Blue Ribbon Award From the U. S. Dept. of Education for Excellence as a a model school (elementary and secondary levels) RADIANS SCHOOL Of Math, Science, and Technology Carr 735 Km 0.4 Cayey, Puerto Rico 00736 www.radiansschool.org (787) 738-4822 ERCSA Agricultural Program Ready for Research and Investigation Projects Last year our ERCSA Agricultural Project took off with the implemen-tation of a hydroponic system which produced untold amounts of let-tuce which was sold to the public. “This year, the hydroponics system will be expanded to produce even more lettuce and many other types of produce,” said Prof. Jose Caballero. As always, students participate actively in the ERCSA program via the elective course offered by Prof. Luz Burgos. Students, young and old, are encouraged to pursue research in the center under the auspices of their science teachers. This program has been featured in El Nuevo Día and Univision; it has received grants from both Walden University and the Private Schools Association of Puerto Rico. We will continue to grow and we look forward to great things this year. Radians School Promotes Community Service as an Important Part of an Integral Education “Why is community service such an important quality and trait for a person to possess?” Without community service people would not know the meaning of charity and giving back. Community service can be defined as a service that is per-formed for the benefit of the public. Commu-nity service is not a responsibility or an obli-gation; it is a commitment. A person must want to do it with good intentions and not because they are being forced to do so. Basi-cally, community service is a way for a person to give back to a community in which they live. School Cafeteria Pay-For-It Program A quick reminder for parents that they can use the Pay-For-It system to allow their children to purchase lunch at the school cafeteria. You can check the menu for the week online at our school website. You can also deposit to the account at the school’s Pay Office (in the Administration Building).
