We have been talking about a positive growth mindset during our Social Thinking lessons. We discussed strategies we could use when things are challenging. We all tried to flip a coin from our elbows. This activity was a challenge for some of us but everyone kept trying.

Field Trip Today!

We had a wonderful time on our field trip today at the Lynn Auditorium. Ask your child which story was her/his favorite. Personally I really loved “The Dot” and of course “Dragons Love Tacos”. The stories were funny. The songs were catchy. The show was a nice connection to the literature we are reading in class. Thank you to our chaperones! Thank you to the Stratton PTO for your support.
