Have you achieved any of your goals for this school year? If so, how many? Take some time to reflect and celebrate what you’ve accomplished. If you haven’t achieved any of your goals, take some time to reflect and see what you can change to accomplish your goals.

Your cells change when you learn stuff! Learning new things helps your brain cells do things more efficiently by reinforcing the myelin sheath. Some scientists think this is what causes muscle memory!

Happy (almost) Halloween! Have your students write their own SPOOKY story. Pass them out to the students, don’t tell them whose story they have. Have them share the story they received with the class & have the class vote on whose story they think has the most Halloween spirit.

Use what you know to learn what you don’t. This practice is called associative learning. Help a student find the similarities between something they already know and something they are trying to figure out. For example, a football spiral and a slope of a curve! #KidsAreTheFuture

Mistakes should be celebrated and studied! As Thomas Edison said, “I never once failed at making a light bulb. I just found out 99 ways not to make one.” Life is all about learning and growing!

Quick Tip: Skills are easier to pick up as individual parts. So set smaller, more measurable goals of learning, and, over time, the accumulation of those tinier skills will add up to a whole ability!
