Advent Season

As we enter into the Advent season, we are eagerly awaiting the celebration of our Savior's birth. In guidance I am teaching from an Advent tree with ornaments that point toward Jesus.
Luke 2:10-14
"And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; you will find the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."

Wishing you a Merry Christmas!

Mindset

We are learning about the brain in guidance, using material from Carol Dwek's book "Mindset". Specifically, we are learning how our attitudes impact our thinking, and the difference between fixed and growth mindsets. A fixed mindset views the world as "fixed", you are who you are and intelligence and talents are fixed. A growth mindset, in contrast, sees oneself as a work in progress where growth and learning from mistakes help shape a person. Please visit our bulletin board in the lower school hallway!
