They fall into three main categories:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Communication<\/li>\n
- Thinking<\/li>\n
- Personal and Social<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
I am asking families to speak with their child and ask them “What kind of learner are you?” We touched on this a little bit in our class meeting this week.<\/p>\n
- \n
- Are you a good communicator? Can you share your ideas to your friends? Can you work well and share ideas when you play and explore? Are you a good listener?\u00a0(Communication)<\/em><\/li>\n
- Are you a good thinker? Can you ask good questions and explore different things? Can you think creatively and come up with new ideas?\u00a0(Thinking)<\/em><\/li>\n
- Are you a kind and confident friend? Can you notice your feelings and work to calm your body when needed? Do you like to help others?\u00a0(Personal and Social)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
I have a list of books that we have read in class already that you can read with your child again to help prompt them to talk about these different skills. You can choose to read one book that fits with the theme they choose, or you can read all of them! Rereading familiar books is always fun.<\/p>\n
Once they have read the book, have them reflect on the main character \u2013 what kind of person is the character? Are they creative, kind, clever, curious? What do you do that is similar to that character?<\/p>\n
Record a short video of them talking about themselves and what kind of learner they think they are. Have them reflect on what they do at school or at home that shows it! Upload your video to their Fresh Grade page so that I can see it.<\/p>\n
Thank you for your help and support!<\/p>\n
