Elementary students finished the year with a study of curiosity.  We defined curiosity as "wanting to know more about something" and brainstormed how to have a "just right" amount of curiosity.  All classes agreed that poorly managed curiosity looked like being nosy, nagging with questions, or making impulsive (and possibly dangerous) decisions without thinking first.  We also agreed that well managed curiosity fosters a love of learning, including learning about others' feelings (empathy) and learning from our own mistakes (growth mindset). 

 

Of course, we not only practiced being curious ourselves, but also noticed the trait of curiosity in others.
