Hi my name is Lynden and I am going to tell you about what we are doing in reading. We have been learning about nonficen text features for a example bolt print. That is what we have been doing in reading.

Engineers at Work!
We LOVED solving weathering and erosion problems like a real engineer would do!
Growth Mindset Fun!
Max and Lynden practice resiliency, one of our growth mindset stances, by trying to balance golf balls on top of each other. Resiliency means when you have trouble, you bounce back and try again.
Smiles for RESILIENCY!
Jordan LOVED showing us how he bounced back and succeeded even when he had trouble balancing the golf balls at first.
