Happy Halloween!
This afternoon we watched Transylvania 2 as our Fall Fundraiser Movie day reward. While watching this we indulged on some delicious snacks, then our friends who had goody bags to give out did so.

Inquiry into Language
Together we read the very last chapter of our novel study. Once we finished reading it, students began to write their summaries of the chapter. Before they put pencil to paper, I had them whisper what happened in the summary to themselves, then they could move on to writing it. If they finished their summary, they moved on to responding to the comprehension questions.

Unit of Inquiry
Today's discussion was a continuation on self-esteem and other factors that can contribute to a high or low self-esteem, and what could result if we have a high or low self-esteem. We learned about self-talk and how there is positive self talk (I like the outfit I'm wearing) and negative self-talk (this outfit looks horrible on me). While discussing some scenarios of each, we talked about how we can turn a negative self-talk scenario into a positive one.

We also discussed how social media can influence our self-esteem based on what we see and hear, and how this information can influence how we think about ourselves. It's important to look at social media with a critical eye and remember that what you see and hear on their is only glimpse of what those people actually experience. Lastly, we discussed how it's important to be ourselves and recognize our worth. It's important to not compare ourselves to others and let others actions influence our own actions and beliefs. We need to think what is best for ourselves and act in a manner that suites what is best for us.
