Welcome Back Everyone!

Homework: ***Bring in pet photos for pet wall
See first day-at-school photos below these posts!

Both English 7 and English 8 classes watched a few videos to keep us in the mood of growth mindset, positive thinking and perseverance.

So great to see your enthusiasm.

• The videos: Growth mindset versus fixed mindset. (3:51)
• Is failure necessarily a bad thing? Famous failures (2:59)
• And the real message is: Bruno Mars on Sesame Street. (1:57)

What does “not giving up” mean to you? Wrote for five minutes. Included a specific example about yourself. Handed in. Will share tomorrow.

In ENGLISH 8, we also wrote:

1. What is a growth mindset vs. a fixed mindset, focusing on what you remember from the morning greet/meet. After the second video, considered how, if at all, your ideas changed about what is a growth mindset.

2. Then we thought about what it means to  Persevere, especially when it comes to learning. Definition: “Keep going even if it’s hard or you don’t think you will succeed.” Write for two minutes.
3. Reflected one more time. 

We're Back!
