Grade Two: April 2016
http://seisen2.blogspot.com/2016_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 25, 2016. I am learning to understand what makes a healthy ocean and what makes an unhealthy ocean. Place all of the cards up so each group member can see them. Take turns discussing why one card may belong in a particular group. Give a reason for why you placed the card in a group. If you are not sure where a card goes, explain why you are unsure. For cards in the unsure pile, list ways you can research to find out whether it is part of a healthy or unhealthy ocean. Saturday, April 23, 2016.

Thursday, September 29, 2016. Growth Mindset and Goal Setting. I am learning to explore personal abilities. 1) Identify a personal strength. 2) Outline a range of personal strengths, giving examples to support claims. 3) Classify personal strengths based on selected transdisciplinary skills. Students used checklists to assess their juggling abilities. They practiced until they could improve and continued to record their progress. Why do we take a Mathletics Pre-Assessment?
