We are combining the days we missed from last week with the start of our new 7 Mindsets Unit, “Own Your Life”.

We know that elementary students are easily influenced by the opinions of others. In our lessons this week, students will understand the importance of taking control of their own lives and not letting the negative beliefs and opinions of others influence theirs.

At the end of this week, students should …

● Learn to formulate an opinion and explain the importance of having our own thoughts

● Explain why we should not let negative opinions influence us
