In Math we have been making patterns, learning about a pattern core and understanding the ways in which a pattern can change!
Of course we enjoy the 'hands on' building part the best!
We are working on ways to solve problems and understand how to work through difficult tasks. Each week we have watched a part of the 'Growth Mindset' movies. They are only a few minutes long and really helpful for students to change the way they think about learning. Instead of saying "I can't..." students can say "I can't.....yet". In this way they are changing their 'Fixed Mindset' to a 'Growth Mindset'.
Here is the link if you would like to view them! The characters are very engaging for students!

Walk and talk - I love the outdoors and hope my students will as well. We try to walk at least 2 times a week. This gives us an opportunity to get fresh air and exercise as well as talk to friends and make new ones. The students now look outside and say, "it's a beautiful day can we go for walk and talk". We found a whole field of grasshoppers, crickets and dragonflies and discovered the subtle fall changes that are beginning to show. Taking a walk shows students how to take a break, clear our heads and come back energized for our school work!
