And.....here's your follow up question.... @CrossfieldES @xfieldthinks
Today's a great day to work on your Questioning skills! We were inspired by @BESbulldogs PYP Coordinator, @eroteaches and her Smithsonian Labs collection on superheroes: learninglab.si.edu/collectioā¦ Would you rather be able to fly or be able to read minds? Why?? #CCTatHome

It's important to consider how our decisions impact the outcomes of every aspect of life. Practice the CCT skill Decisions and Outcomes with the Aesop Fable, The Bear and The Bees, from the Library of Congress: read.gov/aesop/080.html. What decisions did bear make? #CCTatHome

While our indoor facilities are closed, our outdoor parks and trails are OPEN! Being active outside is a great way to stay healthy and de-stress. Embrace what you CAN do outdoors!
*Please remember to following social distancing recommendations; avoid groups of 10 people.

Draw not doodle. Math is not gender nor genetics based. New perspectives on growth mindset. Many provoking perspectives...worth a read. Check the research. Food for reflection...@CrossfieldES @xfieldthinks
To remember something, draw it. Awards do *not* boost attendance. Math circuity looks the same in boys and girls. Hereās what we learned this year from the latest education research.

Second round was smoother. "I agree with Mr. K that these rules..however..." It was nice to have your point of view heard and not have someone argue back at you. @CrossfieldES @xfieldthinks

Strategy games have been an important learning tool for AAP in FCPS. Many schools like ours @CrossfieldES have āstructuredā game time. Imagine how many of our 9 CCT skills are being directly taught and practiced: decisions & outcomes, visualization, questioning, FFOE, POV...

Strategy games have long been research supported tools for problem solving and critical thinking; self-regulation is another to consider.
