From the desk of the Kindergarten Teachers-

Giving our Lowrey Polar Bears the opportunity to set growth-oriented goals, and reflect upon their progress in meeting those goals, is fundamental to building a community of growth mindset learners. We set class goals, partnership goals, and individual goals. There is a sense of pride in our student’s voice as they share meeting their NWEA or Reading goals. It is important for our students that once struggled to write more than a sentence on each page or read at grade level to achieve success thru goal setting.

Becoming aware of their mindset by setting and tracking goals, helps our children build awareness of their growth and celebrate new learning. It can also help our children normalize mistakes as a part of the learning process, reflect upon the challenges in meeting a goal, and learn about ways to be flexible or ask for help.

The Kindergarten teachers want to reiterate that it is helpful to give our students a clear way to track their progress in meeting a goal. For example, they might share their plan for meeting their goal with a partner, jot a visual reminder of the goal on a sticky note, tally the number of times they tried this goal, or place a sticker in their writing at each place they met the goal. In our classrooms, we display our goals to remind ourselves that we are a community of brain growers who celebrate one another’s growth. We hope that talking to our Polar Bears about mindsets and creating growth goals are helpful in building Lowrey’s community of mindset learners.

Dear Families,

On Monday, May 23^rd we will be going on a field trip to the Detroit Zoo. We are leaving the school at 9:00 am SHARP and will return back to Lowrey at 2:30 pm. The students will be able to see a variety of zoo animals and their habitats.  Please be on time, buses will leave at 9:00!!!

     The cost of the field trip is $10 per child.  Please sign the permission slip and return with money by April 29th. $10 will cover the admission to the zoo and transportation.

Your child will need a bag lunch with a drink. NO GLASS BOTTLES! So please pack your child a healthy lunch to eat! Students may bring money for the gift shop, but please remember it is their responsibility to keep the money.

We will take the first 5 parents to help out on the trip. Parents will be chaperoning so they are not to bring younger siblings with them.  The bus will be able to seat 5 parents from each Kindergarten class only.  If you want to come along you are more than welcome to follow us in your vehicle.  The cost for parents will also be $10.  In addition to the cost for admission it is a $10 parking fee if driving separately.

Thank you,

Kindergarten Teachers
