During the second week of school we reviewed classroom norms and expectations with the students. A syllabus was sent home with students to be reviewed and signed by a parents/legal guardian. The signed syllabus is due Friday September 14th. Please take a few minutes to review the syllabus with your child to make sure they come to class prepared, and are aware of the types of activities we will be working on throughout the year.
During the rest of the week (Tuesday-Friday) we learned about Growth mindset versus Fixed mindset. This activity included an interactive reading from an article while students took notes during class discussion. On Friday students watched 3 short videos about growth mindset and answered questions. No homework was given this week.
Reminders:
- Gather the necessary materials for this class (can be found on the syllabus). Sign syllabus and turn in by 9/14/2018
- NWEA testing for Science is September 20th. Have students prepare by making sure they get a good night sleep, a healthy and filling breakfast (brain food), brain warm ups such as reading for 10 minuets in the morning. Bring water to class to stay hydrated in this warm weather!
