Coming-In

Ms. Batten's class had an exciting “coming in” last week! Julius Jackson, a VI native and Olympic boxer, came in and was interviewed by two students researching Julius and his father, Julian, for their "Night at the Museum" project.  Kaia, (6th year) and Ava Jayne, (6th year)  were able to collect first-hand information to expand their research, using  Media Interview Survey and Observation (MISO) at its finest!  Some other interviews included Verne Hodge, Rock City's Theron and Timothy Thomas, and the family of the late Judge Almeric Christian.  Thank you to all who helped make these interviews happen!

New York Times - A deeper Take on Growth Mindset

“ Parents may be familiar with the growth mind-set, but they may be using it toward the goal of the next test grade or school application. That’s not what it is. It’s about learning and improving and loving the process. Those other things come about as a byproduct.”

— Carol Dweck, from New York Times, JANUARY 21, 2016
