THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK!

"AN UNCORRECTED MISTAKE IS A LOST OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS TO LEARN."

Something to think about....

1. What approaches do you use with students who refuse to admit they have made a mistake?
2. What guidance must teachers provide students to keep students' confidence from being damaged because of the students' mistakes?
3. How can you be enthusiastic about the learning potential in a mistake without making the mistake seem unimportant?


Congratulations Mr. Smith, Ms. Williams, Mrs. Clay, and Mr. Berry - I have observed all of you using technology in your classrooms on a daily basis. Through the use of notepad, I have seen DOL activities, "use it don't lose it" drills in math, vocabulary and fluency in reading, and other creative ideas. You truly are making a difference in the lives of our students and they really seem to enjoy your classes. Keep up the good work!!! We will all see results in the Spring. YEA!!!!!
