Mrs. Schleifer’s Fourth Grade class was the classroom of the week for Enterprise Publishing. Read more about their project below.
“In our classroom, we focus on having a growth mindset and the importance of gratitude. A large component of a growth mindset is focusing on the positive side of things and reminding ourselves what we’re capable of. The class read the book “Best Part of Me” and loved seeing how other students across the country take pride in themselves. The spirit of the book gave the kids excitement in identifying things they are proud of. Through brainstorming, note taking, writing and editing the students published what they are most proud of about themselves. We can all use a reminder from time to time about what is truly great about ourselves and to celebrate those things! This project has given our class energy and excitement to finish the rest of the school year on a high note!” – Allie Schleifer
Wish them luck at the County Spelling Bee on February 12th which will be held in Fort Calhoun.
