As many of you know, teaching growth mindset is my jam. While I use the framework of Mindset Matters<\/a>, I tweak lessons a bit each year. This year these are the 3 lessons I taught in 4th grade this year. Don’t forget to click on the links for the resources including PowerPoints and worksheets.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growth Mindset Lesson 1: Perseverance<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

I give this framework<\/a> using the acronym shown here. We review grit and perseverance using this PPT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I show this video<\/a>. It is always a hit and yes it sticks in your brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I walk them through this activity from Whole Hearted School Counseling<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growth Mindset Lesson 2: The Power of Yet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I review the Mindset Matters Framework<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I review neuroplasticity using this song <\/a>and this PPT.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

I give these worksheets on brainteasers<\/a> that they might not get YET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growth Mindset Lesson 3: Classroom Stations\/Centers<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

I did mobile centers or stations in the classroom and the easy prep and high engagement made me want to do something like this again soon. I showed this PPT <\/a>to give them an overview. I traveled with my growth mindset centers on this handy dandy cart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Center 1: Playdough Mats to Explore Neuropathways and the Power of Yet.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Center 2: Reading Center: Students will read this book<\/a> (and of course there are lots of non-fiction brain books for kids you could use.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Center 3: Classroom Doddles has some great coloring sheets <\/a>that say words and are like adult coloring books… so relaxing… kids love them and they’re pretty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope that some of this is helpful and let me know if you have any questions! ~Lisa<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
