We have been talking about the importance of having a growth mindset. A paper came home about it to help you have conversations with your child about having a growth mindset. We are trying to get the kids to see that their brain is like a muscle, and sometimes you really have to exercise that muscle to get it stronger. You may not be able to do things. . . yet. The word yet is a very powerful word. It shows a growth mindset. People who have a growth take risks, learn from their mistakes, keep trying, and that hard work, not just talent and smarts, is what makes things possible! We read the book The Most Magnificent Thing, which is a wonderful book about a girl who has a growth mindset. She doesn’t give up! We also had a few morning meetings about it. Today, students shared about a time something was hard for them to do, but kept trying and was successful. We heard great stories of tying shoes, riding bikes, walking on the balance beam, and playing video games.
