Our character word of the week was self-reliance. Students learned that it means to do your best to problem solve independently and do what you think the best thing would be. They listed ways to practice self-reliance at school: to check all folders and notebooks for missing multiplication cards, to visit the Extras folder for needed assignments, to look around the room and mimic what most kids are doing. They also shared ways to be self-reliant at home: to complete chores without reminders, to clean up spilled messes without asking for parent backup, and set alarm clocks and timers to track reading minutes. We also discussed that while self-reliance shows maturity, there will always be times when kids (grownups, too) have to ask for help & support.

| In Social Studies, students created a map of items placed on a classroom carpet. |
 |
| We removed the rug, created a grid system, and students recreated the map using coordinate pairs. Grid systems help us create more accurate and specific maps. |
 |
| To prepare for a Math test, students tried a 20/20/20. For 20 minutes, kids worked on the review independently. For 20 minutes, Math partners worked as a team to support each other and ask questions. For 20 minutes, we came together as a group and tackled the most challenging problems and shared different strategies. |
