categories: News from Mrs. Walenta
Miscellaneous:
- What a great start to the school year. We have been building routines and relationships these first two weeks! Room 305 has an outstanding group of 5th graders! 🙂
- Early release on Friday, September 14. — Sack lunch will be available; students may order in the morning when they arrive.
- Staff book study for the 2018-19 school year is Growth Mindset. It is a month by month guide that helps us shift our teacher and student thinking to a GROWTH mindset approach to learning. Each month, we’ll introduce a new GROWTH MINDSET PHRASE to our students and expand their beliefs about their own ability to learn through practice, mistakes, failures and more practice. This months phrase is — Everyone Can Learn.
