We are all building awareness of how these varied strengths can be an advantage for our learning community.<\/p>\n<p>I invite parents to do this activity at home or to discuss it with their children. There is no &#8220;one answer&#8221; to this activity and there is a myriad of research out there talking about other ways to look at our strengths and personalities. It is only one way\u00a0of reflecting and thinking about our strengths, but I think it is important as the students build awareness of themselves and come to value one another.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the handout <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/deterraa\/files\/2015\/11\/8_kinds_of_smart.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Eight Kinds of Smart<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we discussed the eight kinds of smart as a reflection exercise.
