Yes I Can!

On Friday the students watched a video with Mrs. Walker during Pals about how we need to exercise our brains, try our best always, and that mistakes are good because they help us to learn. We then read the story Yes We Can! by Sam McBratney and talked about how it's so important that we try our best during all of our activities so that we can learn and grow. A great example of this from last week was the Birds that each student created in response to the book A Drop of Gold by Vlasta van Kampen. While working on this activity we heard a lot of comments about how they can't or don't know how to draw their own bird, and our response was simply to try their best. The Birds turned out beautiful, as they hang in the hallway of the school for all to see, and we are very proud of everyone's hard work! Yes we can!
