I can’t wait to implement this with our growth mindset units this year.

These are such great resources for my multi-graded CREW. The CREW I have worked together to solve the escape rooms. So much SEL going on that I’m grateful for such resources so that I can focus on the SEL, not the details of the activity.

I had all of this prepared for the beginning of school last August, but we ran out of time to do the activities. They are on the list for this year! Can’t wait to use them.

lots of fun had by class. good intro to growth mindset and also could be used at anytime in a school year to focus on the concepts. Very well thought out and easy to implement. Kids gave it 2 thumbs up!

These were challenging, but provided my students with great opportunities to work on perseverance! They enjoyed them once they became more confident ?
Ellie Kay –
My students struggled with it at first, but it worked great for them to realize that just because they didn’t get something at first, it doesn’t mean that they won’t ever get it.

Incorporating positive thinking exercises and activities into the classroom can have a profound impact on students’ mindsets and overall well-being. These strategies empower learners to reframe challenges, cultivate gratitude, and focus on their strengths, ultimately fostering a growth-oriented, resilient approach to learning and personal development.
