I hope everyone had a great break! We are back in full learning mode. This week, we began to review our earlier discussion about the growth mindset and what it means to have a growth mindset. Our class read the book, Bubble Gum Brain, which focuses on how becoming is better than being with the power of yet. We discussed developing a Bubble Gum brain by focusing on improving our thinking by reflecting over our thoughts, and flexing, bending, and stretching our brain. Over the course of this year, we will continue to develop this thinking. We also focused on goal setting and began to discuss MAP goals and plans for reaching these goals. Our class will take MAP on Thursday, November 30, 201 and continue through Monday, December 5, 2017 at 8:30 am. This week, our scholars focused on: -determining an author's purpose for writing a text and finding support for an author's message -summarizing our learning about the stars, moon, and the Sun -using place value drawings' and the expanded form strategy to subtract numbers with differences of 100 or greater -criteria for creating a quality informational text -brainstorming ideas that should be included within an informational text about the stars, moon, and the Sun -goal setting/ the growth mindset Upcoming Dates November 30- December 5 MAP Testing @ 8:30 am November 27-December 1 Book Fair December 20 Celebration of Learning @ 8:45 am
