We have continued to enjoy ourselves by learning about and learning with each other. Here are some tweets from the week plus more!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>MONDAY: Loving how students are accepting challenges to push themselves into growth zone. In writing after conferencing, I point out strengths and area(s) of opportunity. They walk away to work on challenge to improve writing and come back feeling so proud. Then we set new goal on next blank page.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>TUESDAY: We looked at Terry Fox as an incredible example of perseverance and determination. Need to have positive self-talk especially when we find ourselves struggling; be own cheerleader. Recognize there is value in the struggle as we push through. Means we are in our growth zone. Believe in yourself.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In Math, we started learning about telling time. To find out more about the learning outcomes for each grade and how concepts can be reinforced through games on websites at home and school, click here<\/a>. As mentioned previously, my goal is to help students change their mindset about Math. Here’s a short video about believing in yourself; click here<\/a> to view.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>WEDNESDAY:\u00a0Students thoroughly enjoyed exercising their creative play and collaboration skills with green screen app by\u00a0<\/span>@DoInkTweets<\/a><\/span>. Classroom noise not a problem! We say, \u201cQuiet on the set!\u201d And everyone goes silent to support the group recording their video. Class teamwork in action! <\/span>#GreatKids<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

We continued to talk about perseverance (stick-with-itness) and determination (never give up attitude). We wrote about what it means, why it is important, and what statements we could say to ourselves. Click here<\/a> to read reflections written by Alex, Sophia, and Zia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In Science, we also started learning about matter and atoms. Students were asked to share what they know. If you take a look at the class brainstorm, students don’t know much yet. I can’t wait to see their learning grow! Click here<\/a>\u00a0to learn more about the learning outcomes or to watch the Bill Nye video with your child at home to reinforce learning.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>THURSDAY: Such perseverance and determination was shown by students in our Terry Fox Run. During our reflection, many expressed how they told themselves, “You can do it!” and recognized that positive self-talk and believing they can actually made a difference. Lessons are paying off!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>During our Terry Fox assembly, we shared a short video of Terry Fox with students holding signs cheering him on. We used the green screen set up in our classroom and an app called Green Screen by DoInk to make this happen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>FRIDAY: Great opportunity to discuss climate change and what we can do to make a difference. We all can have a voice and take action. Students were given an opportunity to march together in the afternoon.<\/p>\n

To round off the week, students were asked to write me a letter telling me how they are feeling about being in this class so far, what they have enjoyed or not enjoyed, what they have learned about themselves, and one thing they are looking forward to. I thoroughly enjoyed reading their honest thoughts and feelings. It’s great feedback for me and it gave me a great opportunity to connect with each child about what was shared.<\/p>\n
