CHOOSE LOVE TANGRAMS
Students in 2nd Grade used tangrams (7 geometric shapes) to build a square in Choose Love. Students were learning about Mindset and the Power of Yet. They practiced encouraging self-talk. This task proved to be a challenge, but Cougars persevere! “I can do it.”, “Let me try it this way.”, and “You got this!” could be heard throughout the classroom. Way to persevere, Cougars!
PADDINGTON'S VOYAGE TO MULREADY
MULREADY'S MARCH MATHNESS
Dear Parents,
I can’t believe it but for the first week the students have completed 50, 633 correct math facts! We are already two-thirds of the way to our goal with 2 weeks left to go!
I have loved seeing the excitement with the students and how well they have been doing! There really haven’t been that many incorrect when they have been corrected! Who would have ever expected students to ask for more homework and be excited about it!!!???
Thank you for your support!
