Good Choice or Bad Choice?
I forgot my lunch in the classroom so I run back to class quickly and then run as fast as I can out to recess.
Bad - Running in the hallways does not show a safe body.
I am not friends with my rug partner so I decide that I am going to ignore them during a turn and talk.
Bad - This is not showing dignity to our classmates and peers.
Good Choice or Bad Choice?
I want to get to the free choice activity so I complete my work as fast as I can without checking that my work is neat or doing my best effort.
Bad - This does not show responsibility or ownership of your learning.
I notice that a friend seems lonely. I decide to play with them at recess even though others want me to play tag with them.
Good- you are showing empathy.
Good Choice or Bad Choice?
I didn't get the score that I hoped to on my writing task. I decide to work really hard on the next one to level up to the next level.
Good - you are showing a growth mindset!
