4th and 5th Grade Reading
Our Tag readers have been working on a project about the brain. Ask your child if they can tell you about Growth and Fixed Mindsets. We have been watching videos and reading about how the brain learns new things. We have learned that we are never too old to learn something new. Projects are due on November 5.
