Gilakas'la!
Reminder: A special hot lunch of soup and bun will be served tomorrow!
This post will be quick. The students attend Culture Class on Wednesday afternoons so I just have a few things to share from the morning.
First, we re-visited the Growth vs Fixed Mindset statements from yesterday, pasting them onto one large poster. I forgot to take a photo before leaving school; will add that tomorrow. We watched a 30-second commercial by Michael Jordan - related to Growth Mindset. https://youtu.be/45mMioJ5szc
Next, we watched a video about Goal Setting. Then we made folded booklets and started our Goal Setting booklet. We got as far as Long-term Goals, with students listing some things that they would like to be good at or become as adults. So far, we are just making lists; later we will expand on one of goal.

After recess, it is our math time so we did a timed 5X (B) drill and graphed the results. Most students felt a great deal of success with these multiplication facts.
Following that, we marked / reviewed our quadrilaterals worksheet from yesterday, working together to find missing angles within triangles (180 degrees) and quadrilaterals (360 degrees).
Finally, before and after language class, I read from an old book by Monroe Leaf (c) 1946 entitled How to Behave and Why. Ask your child what the four most important things to live by are. I'll tell you
tomorrow:)
That's it. One more day before Easter break!
