Hello Friends & Families of Room 112!
I hope you are enjoying this beautiful Saturday in preparation for the Super Bowl of Iowa this evening (Go State!). As you can see above - we had some fun with the CyHawk rivalry yesterday. This activity was really great & had some great teaching points:
Something else I encourage you to talk about with your student is the language that they use. We have been trying to get away from, "I don't know how to _____" and say "I'm learning how to ____" or by adding "yet" to the end of the sentence. This is part of the idea of "Growth Mindset". The 1st Grade Team received a small amount of training on Growth Mindset this summer and it's all about teaching children that we can always improve ourselves. You can always get smarter! This link shows 10 questions you can ask your child to help them develop a growth mindset. Just for your information if you are curious about it! http://www.thehealingpathwithchildren.com/2016/08/22/worry-bag-growth-mindset-children/ Wow! That was a long one. I hope you stuck with me. Please make sure to check our weekly newsletter. Math practice will be posted under "At Home Practice" as well as photos added from the week. Enjoy your weekend spent with friends & family. Go State! -Mrs. Miller
