A SMART Start

Pattern Block Creations

Brain Break

The Mosaic team is off to a SMART start at WCS. During our first few days together we have gotten to know each other, our team, and the new school. In math we have thought about how we can be a community of learners who support each other and we had fun exploring the different math materials that the Bridges program uses for hands on exploration. We used this video starring some of our old friends to launch the concept of growth mindset. This will be a focus for us not only as mathematicians, but in all areas of learning.

In literacy we have shared books that are special to us and have practiced choosing "just right" books and building our reading stamina during independent reading.

Reading Long and Strong

Next week we will begin word study, write poetry, explore our Chromebooks and begin our Hopes and Dreams. Thanks to all of you who made it to our Mosaic Dessert Social. It was nice to meet new families and welcome back familiar faces, too.

We hope to see you on Thursday night for our Curriculum Night. We will meet in the Mosaic wing from 6:30-7:30. If you are unable to make it on Thursday we will be sure to link our presentation in next week's blog.

 Ask your child...
* What does S.M.A.R.T. stand for? What are brain cells?
 * What's GO NOODLE?
 * How do you choose a Just Right book?
