We had a great class meeting today about "Changing our Mindsets" and trying to use new vocabulary when we are stuck or feel frustrated with a task or activity. We are working to say "not yet" rather than "I can't". As a class we came up with a few others such as "I can try again" or "I am almost there". With your family, share some of the other vocabulary we used and talk about why saying these phrases is better for our learning than "I can't". Parents click here for a Ted Talks video about the Power of Yet and the research to support it.We also did some writing today that you will see on our bulletin board when you come for our Curriculum Night on Thursday (See our September Newsletter for more information). We are hoping our hints and our pictures will give you enough clues to find your child's work without any names! Here is one example:
Check out the Educational Links section as some new links have been added. These are educational sites you could have your child go to when they have some spare time to say those dreaded words... "I'm bored!!" These will be updated regularly so be sure to check often.
