The preschool years are a time of exploration and discovery. They are also filled with learning a lot about what makes us unique individuals. Recently, I started working with my toddler on identifying and naming body parts and reading various All About Me Books. Today we’re sharing a fun all about me preschool science activity...Read More
Hi There! Lisa here, from Growing Firsties & I'm going to share a little bit about Growth Mindset today, which is based on Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck's work. Heads up that I do have some Amazon Affiliate links in this post. Should you choose to use the links, I'll earn some "circle money" as my daughter calls coins. :-) Half of my affiliate proceeds are for paying it forward - each month I receive earnings I give to my local food pantry/outreach services organization. The other half is spent on books and items for my classroom. With a growth mindset, people believe that through effort and practice, they can develop and improve their talents and abilities. In a fixed mindset, people believe that their talents and abilities are fixed...and that it's talent (not effort) that creates success. Woah. Years ago, I first began to think about mindset in terms of working with struggling students...those students where the learning is hard. Students, who, if they don't have the mindset to keep trying, will give up. Then what will they learn? My thinking expanded as I witnessed students labelled as gifted hitting a struggle academically and not knowing how to handle the struggle when they are unfamiliar with the resilience and effort needed. Then I realized that mindset, resilience & perseverance are critical for all of us. Regardless of age. #helloIhatecardio #gottadoitanyways You may have seen this Growing Firsties post from a few years ago, containing this freebie download. Or maybe this post from last summer all about perseverance. I am blessed to work at an amazing school! Some talented colleagues ran a book study on Dweck's Mindset book this year and it was such fun to re-read and discuss mindset with like-minded teachers! I also added Mindsets in the Classroom (by Mary Cay Ricci) to my collection. We read aloud some great books and I expanded my collection beyond the wonderful texts from Peter H. Reynolds (Ish, The Dot, Going Places...) One of my teammates asked me if I had a printable for our work on mindset and that gave me the motivation to put my swirling thoughts to work....Here's a little peek at the inside... Scroll down to download this freebie! :) You might be interested in reading an article by the always eloquently-thought-provoking Alfie Kohn "The Perils of Growth Mindset" education.

Das fehlte noch in meinem Klassenzimmer: Ein klarer Spicker für Selbstlaut, Mitlaut und Umlaut. Ich habe erst auf Grundschulblogs gesucht und leider nichts gefunden.

With over a decade of experience as a mentor in the wedding industry, I've spent my fair share of time talking about marketing with my students and mentees. I know marketing can be really tough–it's time consuming, energy draining, and full of imposter syndrome.

Today, I'm going to share with you the social media mistakes I see every wedding planner make, so you can avoid them as
Het schrijven van verhalen vinden de kinderen in mijn klas altijd een hele kluif. Ik geef ze een opdracht waarbij ze hun fantasie goed moeten gebruiken, maar ik merk dat de kinderen er niet helemaal uitkomen. Ik gebruikte opstelkaartjes die een collega had gemaakt. Daar stond dan een titel op waarbij de kinderen een verhaal moesten verzinnen. Ik merkte alleen dat de kinderen hier nog niet mee uit de voeten konden. Veel kinderen konden niet tot een verhaal komen, een titel was niet genoeg. Als ik
