Fifth graders are currently working on their STEM Fair projects.  Students in Mrs. Zagurski’s homeroom recently visited the iLab where they discussed Growth Mindset and how this mindset helps them succeed.   Here’s the video we watched (hint: your teacher will need to share this video on your class white board, since they will need to log in with their teacher credentials).     In the video, we learn that through practice we can train our brain.   By doing this, things that once seemed hard get easier.   Let’s start a conversation.  What is something that you have learned that got easier once ..read more

Mr. Tingey will be visiting o ..read more
