Systems Project

Over the next two weeks, STAR Testing will be conducted for the district and students will not be pulled for their regular ALERT classes.  During that time I wanted to continue to give students the opportunity to deepen their systems knowledge.  I have created a short project to engage them over the break.  They were given a packet with a review page and project directions (both linked below) as well as an optional sheet for their work.  The project is due the week of February 29-March 4, depending on their day of instruction.  It is meant to be as simple or complex as your student chooses to make it.  My goal is that it can be completed in less than an hour for those that have other obligations on their time, or over a number of days for those that choose to run with it.  Please don't let this be a burden or stress to your family.  If you are unable to participate I understand.  I hope it is a fun way for your child to bring their learning home to you!  Please let me know if you have any questions!

With Math I Can!

Who last told you, "I'm not good at math"?  For some reason, this is an easy comment to make and people often do so freely with little concern.  Any stigmas for being poor at math carry much less weight than someone confessing to being a poor reader.  Why is it okay to have low confidence with your math abilities?

This video encourages our students to practice the growth mindset when it comes to mathematics and not sell themselves short by defining themselves as "just not good at math".
