Attention Fifth Graders!

Be ready for my guidence lesson on Friday! We will be reviewing for the end of the unit test as well as learning two new skills. Here are some of the questions I will be asking:
1. What is Kaizen?
2. Define optimism.
3. Name your Kool Tune.
4. The strategy saying: Don't doubt your ______, doubt your ______. If what you're doing isn't working, _________ ___________ ____________.
5. Name two ways to calm yourself down when you are feeling stressed.

 The two new skills we will be learning are seven keys to mastery and encouraging things to say and do. Remember to have your goal sheets out and ready because I will have a treat for those that do again this week.
