November 14, 2016

I hope you all had a restful and memorable extra long weekend.  

Today we jumped back into learning with a busy day in 1-2E.  In Math, students completed 24 Number Scoots, where they had to identify the number that is missing on a number line.  


We ended our day by launching the first of 15 MindUp lessons.  MindUp is a research based mindfulness curriculum.  Over the next 8 weeks, students will learn about attention, self-regulation, building resilience towards stress and maintaining a growth mindset.  The program has been the focus of the Black Gold CAP team for the past two years, and we are excited to be using it, alongside Zones of Regulation, again this year.  

Today, students learned three parts of their brains and a character that they can relate to each: amygdala (guard dog), hippocampus (happy hippo), and the prefrontal cortex (wise owl).
