As a school we continue to work on growing our understanding of ways to act as an engaged citizen at both the K-2 and 3-5 levels.  Related to this goal, the Habit of Mind we are focusing on for the month of January is Thinking Flexibly.  We kicked off our learning about flexible thinking with a student-led skit from Mrs. Mastrocola’s 4th graders at our last all-school assembly. 

If you’d like to learn more about how to talk with your learner(s) at home about flexible thinking, please review this one page handout from The Institute for Habits of Mind.
