Mental Health Awareness- (Nov. 29-Dec. 3) - Our Social and Emotional lesson theme this week is Growth Mindset. A growth mindset is the belief that intelligence and abilities can be improved upon with hard work, determination, and practice. The term itself describes how your child faces challenges and setbacks. Kids with a growth mindset believe that their ability to do anything can and will improve with practice and effort over time. They thrive on challenges and use failure as a springboard for betterment. As adults, we benefit from Growth Mindset as well! Happy Monday ! :)
