Growth Mindset Assembly

Updated Fri, Dec 20th
Assembly participants on growth mindset.

Assembly speaker Dr. Blake Brandes presented on the black top to all Forest Hill Falcons.  He explained how the brain is a muscle that can get stronger, and if you're not good at something, you say, "I'm not good at playing piano, yet" as an example.  He had students share things they're not good at yet, and the list included math, tennis, reading, Minecraft, jewelry-making, and more.  And then he delivered those items in an amazing on-the-spot rap, linked below.  Dr. Brandes got the whole audience clapping and chanting, "If I keep going, my mind keeps growing!"  An awesome message for every learner. Every classroom also received Dr. Brandes' newest book titled One More Try.

Inclusion on the Playground

Updated Tue, Nov 19th
Forest Hill's adaptive PE teacher Alejandro Prado hosts morning recess activities on the blacktop near room 12 on Thursdays and in the kinder yard on Tuesdays. The activities create inclusion with all students at recess time so we would love for you to encourage your learner to stop by and have some fun. Every month, Mr. Praro hosts a new rotation of activities.  For the month of October, learners used balancing stones and beams. This month, learners can play ring toss together. In December, they'll play bean bag toss (for the win!).  Mr. Praro is excited to welcome all Forest Hill learners to create a more inclusive environment for our school.

Cows??!! At Forest Hill?

Updated Wed, Oct 2nd

Forest Hill hosted our annual cow assembly by the Dairy Council. Over two assemblies, every student learned about milk and milk products from the cow to the cafeteria.  Every student learned that "mother mammals make milk" and to say "pasteurize" (hint, past your eyes!).  The name of the visiting cow is Buttermilk, and she's five years old.  Ask your student what they learned about Buttermilk today!
