With the younger grades, we read a book called "Bubble Gum Brain" that spoke about stretching your brain by being willing to make mistakes and try new strategies. Here is a picture of the students chewing bubble gum celebrating those elastic, bendable brains!
The older grades stretched their brains and practiced having a growth mindset with a library "Breakout EDU" problem solving activity and the new Middle School Exploratory explored our new fiction genre sections of the Middle/High School library. They had several puzzles and clues within their games that took determination and persistence! All of the groups made it out...here are some pictures:
"There is a difference between not knowing and not knowing YET." - Sheila Tobias
"Every mistake you make is progress." - Unknown
"Don't judge me by my successes, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again."
- Nelson Mandela
"I haven't failed. I just found ten thousand ways that don't work." - Thomas Edison
"If you find a path with no obstacles it probably doesn't lead anywhere." - Frank A. Clark
