Packet Pick-Up

Yes! There is another packet out front of the school! This packet contains writing materials that your children will need to complete the a short Poetry Unit, April 12-23rd. These papers help the students to understand the formatting for the different poetry styles. Please look for the small flat bin with my name on it. Take one packet per student and highlight your child's name on the list in the baggie.

Productive Struggle and Growth Mindset

Please take the time to look at the articles:

"Do you ever find yourself assisting your child with just about everything, even things you know he or she is perfectly capable of doing? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Parents have a natural tendency to continuously help and protect their children. After all, you want the best for them. Ironically, when it comes to schoolwork, a parent who jumps in to help too quickly could actually be doing more harm than good. Letting your child struggle and even fail sometimes can be highly beneficial to his or her development."
