Owership for Learning....

I have had MANY recent conversations with the class about having ownership for decisions and for learning! I have found that some of the students are continually asking questions like....

• Do I have to do the entire assignment? .....YES!


• Do we have to write the sentences?......YES!


• ETC....

I am working with the student to help them understand that doing one's personal best is soooooo important and that they can make themselves better by pushing themselves, buy being challenged and by trying new things that are sometimes difficult.

It is my goal and I have voiced to them the opportunity to make themselves BETTER!! Doing the bare minimum is not the ticket to greatness!

HOMEWORK:

Parent Thought: Ask your child what they do to make sure they have all their materials prepared to complete their school work and homework???? Organization? Planner?
