Hello Families!!
I am so excited to share this blog with you!  There are so many concepts that we cover in Superflex lunch group and this is one way that I can share these with you.  In September we worked very hard on understanding the terms "expected" and "unexpected."  We discussed how everyone struggles at times to do something that might be unexpected.  This is okay, but we need to try to learn strategies for these unexpected moments.  These are important concepts to understand as we move into learning about our Unthinkables and Thinkables. We also began talking about Rock Brain!  When we act like the Unthinkable, Rock Brain, we are getting "stuck" on what we want to do rather than what we are expected to be doing. We may also get "stuck" thinking about things we love rather than listening in class to our teacher's words.  We watched some video clips in lunch group showing other's getting stuck on what they wanted. We also developed an an anchor chart with strategies for how to defeat Rock Brain!  We will be adding to it in upcoming weeks. At home you can discuss "moments" where you may have gotten "stuck" and what you did to get "unstuck."  Our goal is to act more like Rex Flexinator, the Thinkable who is the opposite of Rock Brain! We can do it friends!
