Hello Parents,
This year I will be working with all the kids to develop a growth mindset instead of a fixed mindset. I have read a lot of research on this topic and I think it's an important message for teachers, students and parents to hear. Throughout the year, I will share with you some interesting, researched based articles for parents. On the night before the start of a new and exciting school year, I wanted to take the time to share with you a few videos and an article on the topic. This link has four great short videos for parents to learn more about what growth mindset is and how to help foster in children. I want your children to see the connection between effort and achievement. Also, here is an article on the topic you can read for more information. Please keep these ideas in mind and help me to develop the growth mindset in your child!
Cheers! See you tomorrow :)

“So what should we say when children complete a task—say, math problems—quickly and perfectly? Should we deny them the praise they have earned? Yes. When this happens, I say, “Whoops. I guess that was too easy. I apologize for wasting your time. Let’s do something you can really learn from!” - Carol Dweck
