Ready to learn and shine
Review
In our Math lessons this week, We use the excitement of back to school to embrace a growth mindset and let everyone engage in rich thinking, build joy and connection to math, feel confident, and be encouraged to be creative with math thinking. Set the tone for the year in our classroom by focusing on what matters.

❓ Weekly Essential Questions
- What is prediction?
- Does it matter if my prediction is wrong?
In Science lessons this week, we talk about what we will learn this year. We start our scientific journey by learning that scientists make predictions. We made a prediction about an experiment we would do later. And we learn that it does not matter if our prediction is wrong, the important thing is we keep trying and learning.
