St. Anne is taking part in a school wide focus on growth mindset. Mindset is how we think and perceive events and encounters in our daily lives.
We can have a fixed mindset or a growth mindset. If we teach children how to have a growth mindset, they will be more resilient, think positively and develop perseverance. They will view challenges and failures as growth opportunities.
We read The OK Book by Amy K Rosenthal. We talked about trying new things and not giving up if they are difficult. We wrote about what "we are ok at;" things that we've enjoyed trying to learn.
