We are Works in Progress in Kindergarten! We continually work on tasks just beyond our present level of independence and celebrate misconceptions as essential ingredients to learning. With support and some productive struggle, we engage in genuine problems, practice the perseverance required to work through a challenging task, and employ the creativity needed to construct solutions. Productive struggle is a state of engagement that equips children with the skills and growth mindset to work through progressively rigorous problems that are just beyond their current level of understanding. The challenges your children face each day build upon their interests and background and prior knowledge, which enable them to push through feelings of frustration to identify solutions. When your children engage in productive struggle, their capacity to learn at higher levels increases. Their brainpower actually expands when they experience and overcome struggle! This week, we persevered through a series of mathematical challenges involving representations of numbers beyond ten. Students were required to represent two digit numbers with ten-sticks and cubes to build unique garages for their toy vehicles. Many students became visibly frustrated, but they willingly persevered with varying support from adults and peers. The results were astounding! Students asked to play our building game during free choice and wanted to be challenged with even bigger numbers. In their words, teacher's challenges were too easy! We are a perpetual work in progress in kindergarten. We embrace challenges, celebrate misconceptions, support one another, persevere through difficulties, engage our creativity, grow our brains, and experience genuine learning.

It's a great day at school when there are audible moans from students when told it is time to wrap up our STEM lab session to get ready for dismissal. Kindergarten and second grade students were deeply involved in planning, designing, testing, and improving arch bridges that would hold the most weight. This is a work in progress that will be revisited next week!

Q&A at informational mtg: Q: What would happen to our taxes if there was no longer a school in Floodwood? A: Floodwood School Dist would dissolve into the surrounding school districts. Depending where you live, you will be paying school taxes for that district you become part of.
