HABIT OF MIND NEWS
Habit of Mind for September: Applying Past Knowledge to New Situations
“The more you know about the past, the better prepared you are for the future.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt
Applying Past Knowledge to New Situations is an important habit and skill to acquire. Simply put, this habit reminds us to use what we already know to do something new. It is a common skill found in successful people. What a great habit to use on this election day!
Tomorrow at our assembly, students will learn about this month’s habit. You may want to ask your child, if they have used what they know to try something new.
