My Project

My students are amazing. They are growing up and learning to navigate the world around them. They will make mistakes but how they respond can have lasting effects. This project includes books that will encourage my students to make good choices.

Developing a growth mindset is important for kids because it encourages them to embrace challenges and learn from them.

Children with a growth mindset see setbacks as learning opportunities and believe their abilities can be developed through effort and practice. This will lead to increased resilience, better academic performance, and a love for learning throughout their lives.

The books and journals will allow the children to read and learn about themselves.
