It's official!! Finally after many years of starting, pausing, starting and pausing while also travelling the world, we did it! Thanks for all of our family and friends who have supported us along the way. Thanks for mentoring us @laurie_clausen and @UBCmfenton!!
This week we launched our grade 4's First Nations and Early Explorers unit. On Monday we had soap stone carving and today we participated in The Blanket exercise. The Blanket exercise went very well and had our students feeling very emotional and left with lots of questions.
Finally, I got to start my inquiry question and take it into practice.
Has penmanship become a lost art? How does student dependence on technology in the classroom impact student’s penmanship abilities?
It was nice to see how my students connected the growth mindset that we have been learning from day one to the multiple intelligences activity that was presented to them today. #grade4#UBCBED2018
Living in Asia, I was never introduced to Growth Mindset. After a long four days of getting to know my students, I introduced them to the Growth Mindset and I am hoping to see through out the year their switch from a fixed to a growth mindset.
