Today the Turtle Lake - Mercer chapter of the North Dakota Association of Honor Society had their day of service. They started out at The Share Exchange in Turtle Lake and ended in Bismarck at the Soup Kitchen. Thank you to Mrs. Slavik for arranging this day and to everyone for all your work!
Preschool has spent their last 5 lessons with Mrs. Slavik reading stories about Fuzzy and his friends to help learn success skills that will help them in school. After each story, they got to participate in a project to work toward building a success skills garden! During this process, students learned skills to help them build self-confidence in their ability to succeed in school, skills to help them apply self-motivation and self-direction to learn, and skills to overcome barriers to learning.
Some questions to ask students about these lessons include:
Doing what 3 things will help you pay attention and remember better?
Can you show me what it looks like to be an attentive listener?
Why is it important to ask questions if you don't understand something?
