One of our beginning of the year activities in Spanish class was to read one of Señora's favorite books, called Your Fantastic Elastic Brain. This book is all about how our brains work, and how we can stretch and strengthen them by learning new things. It teaches us how our brains grow and how making mistakes is good because it helps train our brains and help them grow. After reading the book, we made connections to our learning in Spanish class and how we will be stretching our brains this year. We also talked about how we can use what we learned about our brains to help think positively as language learners. We looked at negative thoughts that we might have while learning something new and talked about what kinds of positive statements we could replace them with. Here are some examples:
These statements are hanging in our classroom so that we can remember them as we stretch our brains and learn Spanish together. It's going to be a great year!!
