Working On Our Own Goals

We read a book called I'm the Best by Lucy Cousins.

If you want to hear the story again, here is a video.

Room 408 noticed that when someone is boasting about how good they are, it can make others feel sad about their skills.

We talked about how each of us needs to work on our own personal goals in order to help our brains grow.  We are all at different points in our learning with different skills.  We should all encourage each other to do our best, no matter where we are in our learning.

Because we're all at different points in our learning, some of us may need some support to be successful.  Here is an interesting picture to illustrate this.

Take a good look.

The picture on the left is equal.  The picture on the right is fair.

We talked about the fact that we are all different and we have different needs.  My job as a teacher is to help support each child to make sure each gets what s/he needs to be successful.

We can help each other be successful by encouraging each other, too!
