Expectations and Mindset

We started class by writing down our classroom expectations which will be listed below.  Students will need to be ready to quiz over these expectations by Friday. Students participated in a rock, paper, scissors brain break tournament.  Brain break are a nice way to keep students active and paying attention.  Student learned whether they have a growth mindset or a fixed mindset.  Students with growth mindsets take on challenges and learn from mistakes.  Tomorrow we will discuss learning strategies for a growth mindset.  Finally, we played two truths and a lie to learn more about our classmates.
