It also includes videos of older students solving problems in different ways well as showing the same. It is a jumping off point for the whole year and I continually remind them that mistakes are the best because our brains grow! Easy work doesn't help our brains grow. -Stephanie https://padlet.com/scombs23/1iyhmcbla8rq719r/wish/1701442029 2021-08-27 20:47:57 UTC https://padlet.com/scombs23/1iyhmcbla8rq719r/wish/1701442029 https://padlet.com/scombs23/1iyhmcbla8rq719r/wish/1701442595 Literally celebrate mistakes.

Until we can figure out a way to approach kids that have not yet mastered a skill without having a negative consequence for them, it is still sending a mixed message.]]> 2021-08-27 22:39:14 UTC https://padlet.com/scombs23/1iyhmcbla8rq719r/wish/1701523323
