Perfect Lesson (see below)
as situations change and evolve, it can open doors to innovation
As schools change, we need to rethink how we teach and assess the curriculum in the classroom.
Meeting the needs of all students is creating success for everyone.
This growth mindset chart is a great one to use in multiple grades. This is a sample of one that is in my classroom. We focus on each idea in a mini lesson and the importance of using these skills in our daily work.

I read the book Perfect to the class. We follow eraser though his journey of the "perfect" page. Once the story is over, I give each student a perfect paper. We close our eyes and visualize a time that we did something easy. It is smooth and perfect like the paper. Then we visualize a difficult task and how it made us feel. Slowly we crumple the paper in our hands feeling the emotions.
Together we uncrumple the papers and look at the lines all over it. I explain that when something is hard, our brains start to send fireworks off in our head and it creates new "lines" just like on the paper. It is a "dance party" and tough tasks are celebrations! The students then go add colours to their "dance party" papers. We often go back to the language when we run into difficult tasks.
Self Regulation
Self Regulation
Self regulation is important for students because if they are unable to focus, adapt to change, handle frustration or recognize their emotions, their brains are unable to learn new concepts. Teaching students the self regulation skills they need to be successful in the classroom is essential (Parrish, 2018).
Students need direct instruction, modeling and practice to utilize self regulation in the classroom. One program that is being utilized in many schools is the Zone's of Regulations. Students need to first identify how they are feeling and then learn strategies to regulate their emotions. In our class, we utilize many strategies such as breathing, frequent breaks, walks, and choice of work to help students self regualte in the class.
