I showed these 4 very short videos to the class this morning. I HIGHLY recommend that parents/guardians look at them too, so you can have an ongoing discussion with your child about the important messages in them. Our character trait this month is determination, and to me, these messages are what determination is all about.

1. Growth Mindset
2. You Can Learn Anything 
3. Failures are the Pillars of Success
4. The Truth About Your Brain

These are the words that need to be memorized.

It shouldn’t be too difficult as so many are the same as English!

I just created a playlist in the sidebar of mindfulness videos we have used so far this year or will try out this term. They’re here also to access at home for anyone who would like to. If you come across another video you think the class might enjoy, please send it to me.

For any parents that are interested, here’s an article from Calm that talks about some of the benefits of mindfulness for kids:

Today’s real-life Math assignment:

In small groups, they’ll work together and present their proposals; then we’ll vote on which one to use.

As promised, here is a link to the Science YouTube channel we talked about today:

The YouTube channel “What If”

Here are links to the two videos from this channel that we watched this morning:

What if we dug a hole through the earth?

 

What if the Earth was shaped like a donut?

 

Science is all about asking questions, questions so “big,” others might laugh at them. Keep asking questions!
