We spent some time this morning talking about having a
FIXED VS. GROWTH
Mindset.
Ask your child about the difference.
With a GROWTH mindset, we believe that we CAN learn new
things. That we CAN grow our brain!
During the 2nd semester of 4th grade, we build a lot of Stamina.
We write more.
We read more.
We do more complicated math.
We expect A LOT.
The kids are feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Here is what I reminded them...
- If we make mistakes....we learn.
- If it is hard....keep trying.
- We don't quit.
- We "Just keep swimming".
- Repeated practice makes us better.
- We may not get it YET...but we will.
- We MUST use our time well at school.
- We can ALWAYS take work home if we need more practice or more time.
Here is a video that we watched on the Growth Mindset.
Sometimes we all need a little PEP talk!
