Building Stronger Connections

 This week in Flyer Time, students participated in an activity that shows how each one of us learns and builds connections differently.

Interest Groups are Awesome!

One way we have fun connecting with our peers and teachers is through interest groups. Here are some groups in action.

Coach Onder also has a blog that features flyer time and interest group pictures. Check that out here:

What is a Growth Mindset?

This week in Flyer Time, students learned about having a "growth mindset" and how this helps them be successful when learning. A growth mindset is where you believe you are capable of learning new things, but you might not understand them yet. On the other hand, a fixed mindset is when you say to yourself, "I'm never going to figure this out." Students watched a video about growth mindset, and you can too by clicking here. Our pilots helped lead the discussion of how to put yourself in a growth mindset. Great job, everybody!

 

It's the Start of a New Year in Flyer Time

Welcome back to school! This year, flyer time will meet five days a week (which is awesome). Some of that time will be devoted to reading for enjoyment. Students and teachers can choose what they want to read. Some classes voted to have a book club and are reading a novel together. Here are some pics from our first day of reading for fun!
