Learning About the Brain

First Graders have been learning about their incredible brains and all that they can do!  They are also learning that our brains need to get stretched and exercised to be strong and grow and that we do that by taking on challenges and learning new things.  Today we started learning about the importance of our attitude when it comes to learning.  We learned about the difference between having a "fixed mindset" and a "growth mindset".  To help reinforce this concept we did a sorting activity as a whole group and then played a game in small groups.  We all decided that we are going to try our best to have a growth mindset in all that we do!
