We are spending the first couple days of school to discuss how students brains work and having a growth mindset. Students discovered that the brain is like muscle that they can grow and improve with practice. By learning new things and practicing, we can increases our neurons and synapses. So tonight ask your son or daughter if they grew their brain today. We discussed strategies that will help students handle adversity in the classroom. We looked at John McEnroe's tennis career and his inability to learn from mistakes and take responsibility. Students brainstormed appropriate responses for learning challenges.
Reminder: Review classroom expectations (Quiz on Friday)
