Growth Mindset: Beyond School

Beyond school I experience my strongest growth mindset in CrossFit, through focusing on improving my overall health, endurance, and strength. I work hard and focus on the the little aspects as well, because working on those smaller muscles is what work to build the bigger muscles. Focusing on learning how to be a better athlete is important and understanding the nutritional aspect as well. I believe I can improve through hard work in CrossFit, and that is useful in my school life as well, because the commitment to improve myself and gain knowledge is important in the academic field as well.

Tech Tip: Chrome Art

I didn't think I would actually like this extension, because I tend to keep the number of extensions to a minimum and only download what I think will be useful. I am very much an image oriented person, so this image tool was a great addition. On my MacBook, I was always shown my favorites page immediately when a new tab opened up, but when I had a Windows computer before I really enjoyed the different backgrounds each day. I enjoy going to real museums as well, because I am not very crafty so I like to go appreciate the art and talent of others. I actually don't have browse museums online, because I like the physical feeling of being in a museum. Art comes in a variety of forms, my form of art is cooking. I can't draw much besides stick figures and the sun, so art classes were always a struggle. Regardless, I am so glad to have come across this add-on! Definitely a game changer!

Reading Notes: Coyote's Eyes, Part B

Coyote's Eyes, This story is part of the Southwestern and California Legends unit. Story source: Myths and Legends of California and the Old Southwest by Katharine Berry Judson.

- Coyote sees the bird take our its eyes and put them back, they are much brighter

- Coyote asks the bird to do it to his eyes, after doing it once Coyote asks to do it a second time

- the bird is smart and tells the coyote no

- the bird finally takes them out, but the eyes never return....coyote's black eyes are now yellow since the bird rolled gum from the piñon tree.

Reading Notes: Spider's Creation, Part A

Quotes: 

"The spider drew a line of meal from north to south and then crossed it with another line running east and west."

"So the two mothers created the moon from a slightly black stone, many kinds of yellow stone, turkis, and a red stone, that the world might be lighted at night. But the moon travelled slowly and did not always give light."


"Then the two mothers created the Star People and made their eyes of sparkling white crystal that they might twinkle and brighten the world at night."

(Zia Pueblo, New Mexico)
