4th Grade Presentation
Transcript: Together, we will be working towards understanding just how we learn best and operate properly in the classroom. We are responsible learners who CARE about what we do and HOW we do it. Through "Growth Mindset," we learn that we have the ability to achieve anything we want to achieve, if we just BELIEVE in our own abilities to accomplish the given task. Throughout the year, I will be giving out "Growth Mindset Certificates" when I notice this positive behavior/mindset of positivity in your work. You will earn a reward for this positive thinking simply by completing the task given to you, in a positive manner, to the best of your ability, and consistent effort regardless of the immediate feeling (including asking for clarification or help when needed) Positivity is a CONTAGIOUS feeling- Let's spread this positive and successful mindset we can :) A procedure is the way that we do things. To do things efficiently, we have to follow some simple procedures, for example: To open a locker, you have to select your combination as directed by the lock manufacturer. To cook a delicious meal, you need to follow the steps in the recipe. To place a call on your phone, you need to dial the number in the right order. What about with learning? To be successful in learning, you need to follow some simple procedures!

Ask your neighbors what we did. If you have questions about assignments, check with the teacher at an appropriate time. Then, complete the work at home. If you missed a test because of an excused absence, inform the teacher and arrange a time to make up the test after school. You will have one day to make-up work for every day you are absent. Daily Behavior Chart Class Dojo I'm Finished, Now What? Attention/Transitions Teamwork Students will participate in a "literature circle" or "round robin" collaboration of literary analysis each week. Literature Circles allow the students to learn how to work collaboratively with one another to reach the standard or objective in a deeper manner by questioning, analyzing and investigating literature in all different ways and roles assigned to them. In order to understand how to read and comprehend what we are reading, we have to SEE it from ALL angles-as we do in Literature Circles. 4th Grade Teacher Multiple Subject and Masters in Digital Teaching English Major- B.A. from University of California, Irvine Activities: Soccer Running Golfing Traveler Personal: Husband Moved to Texas from CALIFORNIA I played college soccer 2 Brothers who played football in Virginia New Puppy- Melby!
