Growth Mindsets!

We have been working recently on training our brains to think positive! Students brainstormed how to think and speak with a growth mindset. 
We discussed how the main character's mindset changes as the story moves along. The story fit perfectly with our data dots. (see below)
Throughout the year we view and discuss the progress dots together. We are working as a team to grow and move our learning forward. The kids were so excited to see how high the dots have already gone! (The red is the goal line that increases as the year continues.)
Class Dojo has an AWESOME series of short videos about growth mindsets and how the brain can grow. The videos are 2-3 minutes and captivate students the whole time! My kiddos can't get enough of Mojo's discoveries!!
