Across the curriculum we work a lot on making claims and supporting them with evidence. Yesterday afternoon I was checking science notebooks to see how this was going in science.  Were students clearly stating a claim? Were they using data from our experiments and observations to support their claims?

What I found in this student’s notebook was evidence of a growth mindset and a timely reminder to embrace the learning process with all its ups and downs. Priceless!

      Well, I’d love to claim credit, but she’s only with me for science. I think the seeds were planted by her classroom teacher. 🙂 I just loved her sentiment though.
