"You Can Grow Your Intelligence"

Today we starting working on non-fiction reading skills, and we began learning about growth mindset.  We read an article titled "You Can Grow Your Intelligence."  Tomorrow, we will discuss how this relates to their effort in school and strategies the kids can use to increase their achievement.  We will refer back to the article and use the information as evidence to support our thoughts about intelligence and effort.  Be sure to ask your child about this article tonight.  Here is a link to the article your kids read today if you are interested in reading it too: http://www.isacs.org/misc_files/Brain%20Article.pdf.
  
Students reading the article for a 2nd time and discussing the important information. 

The kids also had to highlight the most interesting thing in each paragraph while they wrote notes in the margins about their thoughts.
