Trojan Times Elementary Update
For the week of December 17th
MONTHLY MINDSET-- 100% CONNECTED
Below is the message I shared with our students on Friday morning:
Overcome Limiting Beliefs- Sometimes when you want to try something new or do something you have never done before, there is a little voice in your head that tells you that you can't. The little voice may tell you that the goal you want to accomplish is too hard or will take too long. Don't listen! You can do anything you set your mind to and work hard for!!!
Weekly Recap
Four More Days Until Winter Break
In addition to the wax museum, I also spent time in a first grade room where they were learning about main idea. I couldn't help but be impressed by the way the students picked up the concept and were able to apply their learning to the work that they were doing in the classroom. I love seeing students learn concepts like this at an early age. Understanding main idea is an important skill in comprehending a text and one that they will continue to use a lot after they get to high school! Our students will have this concept mastered before they leave our end of the building!
It's been fun to walk around the school this week. The learning is not slowing down! Classes are engaged in a variety of learning activities. Students are working hard and having fun. It's evident that everyone is getting a little antsy for that winter break, but we are making the most of our final days together. These final four days will be fun :)
