Terry Fox

Terry Fox believed that "anything is possible if you try." This quote reminds us to keep on trying even when things are difficult.  Students at Taylor School participated in a walk to celebrate Terry's dream. We discussed our own dreams and that although it might be difficult at times, if we believe in our dreams it is worth working hard for them. 

Building A Growth Mindset

What is a growth mindset and why are we spending time learning about it?

"People with a growth mindset believe that they can learn, change, and develop needed skills. They are better equipped to handle inevitable setbacks, and know that hard work can help them accomplish their goals."   https://homeschoolingwithdyslexia.com/how-to-teach-kids-about-the-power-of-a-growth-mindset/

Through read alouds, discussions and activities, students will be discovering what it means to have a growth mindset. 

This week we will be celebrating International Dot Day on September 15th. 

Take a look at these cool videos that help encourage us to have a positive outlook on learning!
