Mrs. Doneghy's Counseling Connection |
10/9/2018 October counseling lesson funWe are continuing our discussion about growth mindset. Last month the students learned what it means to have both a growth and a fixed mindset. This month, we are exploring the power of yet! Often, students make comments such as "I can't do this.", "I don't know to do this", or "I'll never get this". In our Power of Yet lessons, students learned to put the word "yet" at the end of sentences like the ones above. By adding the tiny word "yet", it shows that they are still working toward learning a task and haven't given up.
We also completed a fun activity identifying things the students are able to do and things they are unable to do yet. They also watched a music video called "The Power of Yet". Many of the students asked me to post it. The link is below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLeUvZvuvAs Our next lesson this month will be a challenging stem activity where students will get to use their newly acquired growth mindset skills! It will be lots of fun! Comments are closed.
