We continued our mindset lessons today and students worked on their letters to a future student. Students were to use a business format to write their letter in Word. They were to reflect and then write about a challenge or struggle they have had, explain how it made them feel, share how they overcame the challenge and then give any advice about what they learned from the challenge to the future student.

With the early release schedule, I only met with one of my 6th grade classes so we spent the period recapping growth versus fixed mindset. Students were also able to use the time to catch up and practice typing.
Students learned what characterizes a growth mindset versus a fixed mindset and we discussed how mindset can affect their ability to learn.
We began a new unit today on mindset and success. Students will be learning about how their mindset can affect their learning experience and ultimately their pathway to success.
We spent the class period reviewing for our test on keyboarding that will be tomorrow.
Students learned about proper ergonomics today and we continued practicing proper keyboarding skills. The unit test will be on Friday.
Students took a learning style assessment today, played another Kahoot for review and continued with typing lessons. Students were also permitted to work on any missing assignments.
We began review for our upcoming unit test on keyboarding theory. Students played a Kahoot to help them learn where their keys are and what fingers type each key. We will review again since many students were absent due to the solar eclipse.
