Day 5

Can you believe it's already been an entire week?  We are so impressed with all of the students and the way they have jumped into their learning at the academy this summer.  Just today, I was having lunch with some third grade friends who shared how they used resilience when they were having trouble reading and didn't want to continue.  After having a hard time, though, they bounced back and turned it around to keep working at their reading.  Hearing their stories is definitely the best part of my day.

Today we had an assembly and were able to hear the stories of some of our academy leaders.  They carried the torch and shared how they persisted this summer in writing, had flexibility when coding, and had optimism when trying something new.

These stories help us remember how important it is to practice using these mindsets everyday.  They help us learn and have more joy in school and out of school.

We can't wait to celebrate more on Monday!  Have a fantastic weekend!
