Classroom Routines & Expectations!
Students have settle into all of the new routines and expectations in 4th grade. They are becoming more independent each day, and taking increased initiative. We established guidelines for the alternative seating choices in the room, and students are choosing "smart seats" for themselves. We have stools, exercise balls, yoga mats, cushions, and stand up desks to choose from. Next week we will try daily choice seating. Students can sit at any desk they choose, and continue to have the privilege as long as it allows them optimal success. As part of our agency goal for the month of September we read Your Fantastic Elastic Brain Stretch It, Shape It by JoAnn Deak Ph.D. We did activities and discussed the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. Each day last week students reflected on a mistake they had made and how they turned it into a learning opportunity. Reminders! Please help your child remember to empty the "Left At Home" pocket in the blue home binder every day. Homework is Monday through Thursday unless a student needs to make up work from being absent or didn't finish an assignment. Students record their assignments first thing in the morning from the Smartboard as part of their morning routine. |
