Happy New Year Oakwood School Families,
I hope you and your family are doing well! Semester 1 is almost complete and report cards will be on their way to your homes later this month. Please take some time to review your child's report card with your child. Here are some questions that may help guide your conversation at home:
-
How do you think your year has been going so far?
-
What are you proud of?
-
What do you think your greatest strength as a learner is? Why do you think so?
-
What do you think is the most challenging part of your school day? Why?
-
Is there anything you want to change or improve in the second semester? How do you think you'll do it?
There are two ways of thinking about problems, using a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. In a fixed mindset, the belief is that this is the way that things are and there is not much that you can do about it. In a growth mindset, the belief is that setbacks or challenges are learning opportunities and you can grow from them. Talk to your child about having a growth mindset and give an example where you used a growth mindset when faced with a challenge.
Make sure to celebrate your child's efforts! We are proud of all of our Oakwood learners! Each day, learners are growing in their social/emotional and academic learning! We look forward to another semester of learning and growing together.
