This week's Question du Jour was "What is success?" The conversation touched on goals, managing expectations, and using failure to your advantage. The students were also introduced to the words intrinsic and extrinsic and reflected on how these words connect to their experiences and definition of success.
Most groups were able to make great progress on their drone filming today. We will have two more work days before debuting the films and reflecting on the process.

The classroom is low on shared snacks for students that need but don't bring a snack on their GATE day. These are especially important for our 4th grade class that doesn't have lunch until 1:00pm and our 1st grade class that doesn't have lunch until 12:45pm! Individually-wrapped, low-mess snacks like chewy granola bars seem to work best. Thanks for any donations!
As we begin our school year and face new challenges, we are seeking new ways to enrich your child's education. A big purchase, I have my eye on is a set of classroom cameras for the 3rd grade photography unit and to help other students with self-expression and documenting the progress of their project work.
