• You raise your hand to answer questions or share great ideas.

• You ask thoughtful questions to understand the topic better.

• You follow directions quickly and start your work right away.

• You help your group members stay on task and finish the activity.

Goal: We want to see this every class! It shows you are doing your best to learn.

MP Minor Participation - 4/5 (80%)

What it means: You are mostly paying attention, but you might need a little nudge to get fully involved.

What it looks like:

• You listen well, but you might only talk a few times, even when you know the answer.

• You work on your assignment, but you sometimes get a little distracted.

• You follow directions, but you wait for others to start the task first.

Goal: You're doing well! Try to challenge yourself to share your ideas and participate more often to move into the AP column.

UI Univolved - 3/5 (60%)

What it means: You are in the classroom, but your mind is focused on something other than the lesson. You are not joining in or paying attention.

What it looks like:

• You do not raise your hand or try to answer questions.

• You look around the room or play with materials instead of working.

• You need the teacher to repeat the instructions just for you.

Goal: This is a signal that you need to refocus. Find the lesson and jump back in! Being UI means you are missing out on learning.

• Using mean, disrespectful, or inappropriate language.

Having a growth mindset is key for elementary students learning Spanish. Instead of feeling defeated when they make a mistake, they can view it as a chance to learn and improve. A child with a growth mindset understands that their brain is like a muscle; the more they practice, the stronger and smarter it gets. This helps them stay motivated when faced with new vocabulary, grammar rules, or challenges with pronunciation. By focusing on effort and persistence, kids can embrace the journey of learning a new language, celebrate small victories, and build the confidence they need to become proficient Spanish speakers.

Here is a video that students will watch during the first Spanish class meeting to go over the importance of having a growth mindset and what S.T.E.P.s to take when learning a new language ----> www.youtube.com/watch?v=52ASxqViblo
