Growth Mindset – Why is it so important for students, teachers and parents?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Perhaps you have noticed the many signs around SFMS reminding students, teachers, and our visitors about the power of having a growth mindset.\u00a0 Throughout the year, teachers and students have been engaging in frequent conversations around this topic. For example, many of us can recall during our educational years (or even in adulthood) times in which we professed that we were “not good” at something (math, music, athletics, etc.). Our mindset can dictate personal growth and we are working to change that phrase to “not good YET.” If you have determined that math is not your subject yet, over time, you start to believe it it will be. This is why our work around mindset is so important.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You never know what you can do when you start to believe in the power of yet.<\/div>\n

Grade 5 Update<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
While winter weather has been cooling things down outside, the 5th graders have been heating things up with super-fast roller coasters. The fifth graders have looked at gravity and the engineering process over the past few weeks.\u00a0 Our culminating project focused on roller coaster building.\u00a0 Their goal was to create a roller coaster that had the longest and most stable ride.\u00a0\u00a0Students worked on producing enough kinetic energy to get their marble to travel the whole distance of the roller coaster. Some roller coasters lasted as long as 40 seconds! This hands-on project was created out of paper, tape, and lots of creativity.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Sixth graders also had the opportunity to become experts about Chinese inventions. Each pair of students chose an invention from three different categories. After that, they researched the inventions and chose a way to present the information to their classmates. When students went through the gallery to view their classmates’ projects, they took notes so the could write an argumentative paragraph about which invention had the greatest impact.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Mary Calkins came to talk to our Read 180 sixth graders about her family’s business – Lake Orchard Farm Aquaponics. \u00a0She shared with the students the advantages of this type of food production. \u00a0We learned that this type of farming provides pesticide-free food that is clean, sustainable, and of premium quality. \u00a0We also learned that produce can be grown locally throughout the year by using this method.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Preventing the Flu: Good Health Habits Can Help Stop Germs<\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
The single best way to prevent seasonal flu is to get vaccinated each year, but good health habits like covering your cough and washing your hands often can help stop the spread of germs and prevent respiratory illnesses like the flu. Flu shots are available at the Public Health Department, your medical provider’s office, and many other areas in the community.<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
1. Avoid close contact.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.<\/div>\n
2. Stay home when you are sick.<\/strong><\/div>\n
If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness.<\/div>\n
3. Cover your mouth and nose<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick.<\/div>\n
4. Clean your hands.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.<\/div>\n
5. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.<\/div>\n
6. Practice other good health habits.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
