Communities have a Growth Mindset

For the month of March we celebrate Women’s History Month. The month of March is designated in the United States as Women’s History Month, a month set aside to honor the important role that women play in the story of our country. Here is a short video to help us learn more about Women’s History Month:

We also celebrate our Character Education Theme, Communities Have a Growth Mindset.

What is a growth mindset?

  • People who believe that they can get stronger and smarter through hard work and practice have a growth mindset.
  • If you have a growth mindset you are in charge of how smart you are because you know you can grow your brain like a muscle by learning hard things.
  • I have a growth mindset because I know I can achieve anything with effort and the right strategies
  • I have a growth mindset and know that if I fail or make a mistake it’s a great thing because I learn from them and get better.

How can we get a growth mindset?

  • Instead of thinking “I can’t do this” Try thinking “I’m still learning, I will keep trying!”

Sometimes we have to remind ourselves that with hard work and effort we can do anything!
