We are so fortunate to have our amazing school counselor, Mrs. Fitch, who continues to guide our students in developing strong, positive mindsets! This month, Mrs. Fitch has been sharing powerful strategies that help students understand the connection between their brains, their moods, and their actions. By learning to control their thoughts, students are discovering that they can take charge of their emotions and behavior.
Our third graders had a special opportunity to create sparkling affirmation jars—a creative and meaningful activity that helped them reflect on how positive thoughts can lead to positive actions. These beautiful jars are now a daily reminder that optimism begins from within.
Mrs. Fitch also introduced students to the science behind positive self-talk and how it helps build resilience, self-confidence, and a more optimistic outlook. It's inspiring to see our students practicing these skills each day and cheering each other on as they grow into thoughtful, empowered individuals!
This week in math, our students brought geometry to life—literally! As part of a fun and creative project, students applied their understanding of geometric concepts to design and build their very own geometry monsters.
Each monster was crafted using a variety of geometric shapes and properties. If you look closely, you’ll notice open and closed shapes, isosceles and equilateral triangles, and angles of all kinds—acute, obtuse, and right. Students also incorporated different types of lines and polygons to add character and detail to their creations.
This hands-on activity was not only a hit with the class, but also a great way to review key math vocabulary in a meaningful and memorable way. We’re so proud of their hard work and creativity!
