Failure

We have recently been discussing the definition of "failure" in our classroom. How people have failed, but also how we learn from our mistakes, and from those failures we succeed! Third and fourth grade students recently took a pre-assessment test on the subject areas they will be studying this first semester. I informed them that they probably would fail the assessment, but that they can certainly learn and succeed from this experience.
Every student failed! We will retake the assessment at the end of our unit and I will share with you our successes!
