Growth Mindset Videos for Parents

Hello Parents!  Take a few moments to watch these great videos about growth mindset and embracing failure. At school I have been noticing fixed mindset comments and attitudes becoming more frequent.  Because of this, we are going to spend some time in class fostering our growth mindsets and learning from our mistakes.  Please help me keep this powerful message going at home.  I will post a few videos these next few weeks for you to watch.  Enjoy!!

I am looking forward to seeing everyone at our conferences in just two weeks from tonight.  Be sure to sign up for a conference on my sign up genius if you have not yet.  You can access and adjust your times if your schedule has change.

What is a Growth Mindset?

Unit 3 Math Test on Monday

We have our Unit 3 Multiplication & Division test coming up on Monday.  Remember that to study for math you have to do problems and check answers.

Here are some review problems we did in class to help prepare.  Use these to help create problems of your own with different numbers.




Here is the study check list again for skills to review and master before Monday.

I LOVE this Student Created Long Division Video

Before break, I had kids create videos of themselves doing a long division problem that they made up.  This is one of my favorites!  I love the cheerful tone, explanations, checks of work and math vocabulary!
