First graders have begun learning a little about their brains and the idea of having a growth mindset vs a fixed mindset. They learned that their brains are "fantastic and elastic"! That every time we learn something new we actually grow and stretch out brains! They also recently learned that we all have the choice to have a "growth mindset" or a "fixed mindset" in our daily lives. A "growth mindset" helps us to see things in a positive way and that when things feel hard we can keep trying and persevere.
We looked at some examples and sorted them as to whether they were part of a growth or a fixed mindset.
We read this book to help us think about using a growth mindset.
We also learned some "mantras" to help us remember to try and always have a growth mindset!
