Hello! I forgot to add an important part to the blog. We have been, as a
school, discussing Growth Mindset. Growth Mindset is when people
believe that their most basic abilities can
be developed through dedication and hard work—brains and talent are just
the starting point. This view creates a love of learning and a
resilience that is essential for great accomplishment. Throughout the
year we will be looking at the following qualities that support a growth
mindset... optimism, curiosity, zest, self-control, gratitude, grit and
social intelligence. This past week we dove into "self-control":) The
ability to stay on task if someone is off-task next to you, the ability
to keep your hands to yourself and use your words to explain how you are
feeling, coming to class prepared, etc. This week, we will be looking
at "grit":) Ask your child how they showed "grit" throughout their day
when you pick them up this week!
