Hey, friends! In an attempt to finish up my 90 report cards that are due tomorrow, I am blogging…but just super fast. *pinky promise*
Last week was scrimmage week, so my 5th grade friends spent 3 days taking practice tests that mimic the ‘real’ KPREP that they’ll take in 6 weeks. With all this scrimmaging, we had awkward pockets of time (15 minutes hear, 25 minutes there), and some students were being negative nickles. So negative, in fact, they could have made quarters or half-dollars. 😉
Inspired by Fieldcrest Elementary’s School’s anchor chart, we spent some of our ‘spare’ moments talking about ways to adjust our thinking. I introduced the chart below with the phrases on the left already written. Then, in partner pairs and as a class, we discussed how we could shift our thoughts into constructive POAs (plans of action). Here are what my friends’ ideas look like!
We also discussed that when we change our thinking, we are NOT saying our feelings don’t matter. We ARE saying that our feelings start with “I Statements” and contain emotion words, not “I give up.” and “This is stupid.”. When we make statements like “I give up.”, we stop working and it hinders our success. Instead, we want to believe and say things that empower us and our friends. Here enters our class theme, “Our Words Have Tremendous Power.”
Since our class conversation, it has been neat to listen to my friends suggest different way of saying something. I love when my students challenge each other and show that they are awesome humans-beings up for any challenge. *insert sentimental comment about how great 5th graders are* 🙂
I love this idea! Thanks for showing how your class answered. I think my kiddos might need a booster, too! 🙂

One of the biggest advantages of business setup Dubai is its tax-friendly environment. The United Arab Emirates offers low corporate taxes and no personal income tax in many cases. As a result, business setup Dubai becomes highly attractive for startups and established companies looking to maximize profits.
I saw this idea a little while ago…thanks for the reminder. I definitely want to do this with my class, and next year I want to do it at the beginning of the year.

Positive mindset is a powerful tool and it is fantastic to see how you are fostering this mindset in your 5th grade class. Empowering students to shift their thoughts to constructive plans of action is a valuable lesson.

DR. ODUNGA IS THE BEST SPIRITUALIST ONLINE WHO RESTORED MY BROKEN RELATIONSHIP AND I HIGHLY RECOMMENDS DR. ODUNGA TO ANYONE IN NEED OF HELP! My husband left me for another woman 3 months ago and ever since then my life has been filled with pain, sorrow and heart break because he was my first love whom I have spent my entire life with. A friend of mine told me he saw some testimonies of a spiritualist called Dr Odunga that he can bring back lover within some few days, i laugh it out and said i am not interested but because of the love my friend had for me, she consulted this great man on my behalf and to my greatest surprise after 11hours my husband called me for the very first time after three months that he is missing me and that he is so sorry for every thing he made me went through. He came back to me and now we are happy together. I still can’t believe it, because it’s highly unbelievable. Thank you Dr.Odunga for bringing back my lover and also to my lovely friend who interceded on my behalf, for any one who might need the help of this great spiritualist here is the email address: [email protected], you can also add him on Whats’app: (+234) 8167159012
I love how you turned those small pockets of time into such meaningful discussions. Teaching students to reframe negative thoughts into constructive actions is such an important life skill. The “Our Words Have Tremendous Power” theme is a beautiful reminder for both kids and adults.
Why is teaching students to reframe negative thoughts considered an important life skill?
