Welcome Awesome Third Graders

I am so excited to start this Third Grade adventure with all of you! Third Grade is a year of collaboration, growth, excitement, challenge, and fun. This year we will create memories, develop friendships, and work towards our personal goals. I look forward to learning about and building relationships with all my students and their families. This year is going to be so exciting and we will all be amazed by how much we accomplish this year as a class.  

Change Your Words, Change Your Mindset...

We want to instill a growth mindset in all of our students. What does this mean, you ask?? A growth mindset is where students believe that they are capable of expanding their intelligence and capabilities through hard work and perseverance! We want to praise students for their hard work and encourage them to never give up, even when faced with a challenge. There is no such thing as a "limit" to a child's potential! Even when mistakes are made, there is opportunity for growth. I am excited to help students grow and believe in their incredible abilities this year.

If you want more information about the growth mindset, this video will give you a great introduction! http://https://youtu.be/NWv1VdDeoRY
