The grade 2/3 students are learning about the importance of having a growth mindset. They are learning how their brain is like a muscle that becomes more powerful with effort. Students practiced writing positive affirmations outside, to reinforce the idea that challenges are not roadblocks, they are opportunities.

Students dressed up as their favourite characters or in sports attire today. It was great seeing all of the outfits!
