Jan 1/26 - 1/30

In advocacy, our theme for January is growth mindset and goal setting. Students are learning what it means to have a growth mindset versus a fixed mindset. We are discussing how a growth mindset helps us learn from mistakes and challenges. Each day, students set personal goals for their learning and behavior. We check in daily to see if goals are achievable and being met. Students reflect on what worked well and what they can improve. We are talking about how effort and perseverance help us grow. Students will listen to stories that show examples of growth mindset. We will work together to create examples of how to use a growth mindset in our classroom. This helps students build confidence and take responsibility for their learning.

Advocacy Week of September 22nd

Hi Families, 
 
This week in advocacy students will practice using a flexible brain instead of a rigid or 'stuck' brain. To do this, they will explore texts including 'A Little Spot of Flexible Thinking' and 'They Saw a Cat'. After listening to these texts, students will discuss sentences they can say when they are feeling rigid in their thinking and complete different activities that will have them explore different perspectives.
