Habits of Mind


Check out the official Habits of Mind Website here

I was planning to write a little passage here about what the habits are, but I think it is well said through the words of one of my Grade 6 students, Mary-Anne. Read her information report, draft one for more information on the benefits of the habits of mind.


In term four, the students of Grade 5/6, Sunshine Primary are celebrating and sharing their learning through a Habits of Mind forum. Each habit is represented by a small group of students. Each habit has it's own stall with information, interactives and resources to keep. The forum has been planned, and organised entirely by the students. We hope to make the forum an annual event. This year, our cluster is paying for a bus to bring students from 3 local schools and our kids are very excited!

As teachers, we have found that the Habits of Mind are an amazing way to engage the students in their own learning, thinking and success.
