Growth Mindset

This is one of my favorite things that I have found so far with all of my new Growth Mindset findings.  We take one letter a day and talk about each word and what it means.  It will take us 26 days. LOL  I have tried to integrate and introduce some new ideas to these students with books, videos, and discussions.  They have responded well to them so far. 

I have a few charts we've made so far.  The Fixed and Growth was used the first day of school.  I will never forget the looks on their faces.  It was like they really thought about how they think about themselves.  From their faces, it was the first time many had considered these ideas.  The ABC chart is on the right.  One of the many books we've read was Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon.  Some had read it for years, but it didn't matter.  We liked creating this synthesis of ideas in one place.
