Growth Mindset
It is important for me to create a safe space at school where students can make mistakes and learn without fear of embarrassment. I have high expectations for my sweet Kinders, and I do not allow the words "I can't..." be present in the classroom. We always say "I can't do it...YET!" "Let's find another way" "It's going to take time." "We learn from our mistakes" "Our brain is like a muscle." "Our neurons are flashing!" (when doing something hard/challenging, yet still going at it and finally getting it). Our Class Dojo app has great video series for different topics, including growth mindset.
