Class step up day to Grade 3 is Today - Monday. They get to move up to their Grade 3 classes - although they don't get to meet their new teacher yet, as there will be 3 new Grade 3 teachers arriving.
Literacy - Unit of Inquiry reading and writing related to Role Models. We are also doing some fun opinion writing where the students state their opinion and provide reasons and examples for their thoughts and ideas.
Mathematics - continuing data displaying and interpreting information.
We are working on Book Creator, an app on the ipads to share ideas about role models.
GUEST to take a LESSON on Wednesday - we have been looking at fixed and growth mindsets - this has evolved as part of looking at Role Models and the types of mindsets and thoughts they have, that have resulted in them doing what they do that inspires others. SO Mr Walker (the CEO of GWA) - although a very busy man - will come in a take a lesson with us on Wednesday - as he has a special interest in these mindsets and has much to share with us.
We have been having some interesting discussion on this over the past few weeks. Nina the counsellor came in last week to talk about people moving on and leaving the school, leaving the class etc. and asked students how they felt about the move. One student said with a fixed mindset we might think 'no, I don't want this to happen but with a growth mindset we can look at moving and think - hey this could be good, I may learn some new things and make new friends'. So these ideas are making an impact !!
Enjoy your week !
