Recently, our hallway brain board got a bit of a facelift. We went from this.... to this... I have to admit, I was a bit sad to take down the fixed and growth mindset self-talk. We referred to them often with a lot of students. They were really powerful. But, alas, we must move on. Crystal asked her students to draw what is inside their brain. She didn't give them too many requirements. Some chose to have their page oriented landscape, though most chose portrait. Some chose to use one colour, while others had many. If you know her children, they are actually very accurate and quite insightful! At our school, we teach the Zones of Regulation school wide. Being that my students are in fourth grade, they have a fairly good understanding of the four Zones already. To refresh their memories, we read the book "The Way I Feel." Everyone folded a paper into 8 spaces. The book showcases 13 emotions, so we had more than enough room to work with the front and back combined. I read each emotion, but I didn't reveal the actual emotion. My students had to guess. Once they had guessed correctly, I projected the emotion on the SmartBoard with a corresponding Zones images. This really helped a few of my low students with spelling. Their job was to write the emotion and guess the Zone that emotion belongs in. At the end of the book, we discussed each one. Next, I assigned students a Zone. They met with the other students of the same Zone to discuss all the emotions that would belong there. They then returned to their desks where a poster was waiting for them. The task was to write in their assigned Zone and fill in the face with an expression that properly represented the Zone. Around the edges, they had to write a variety of emotions for the Zone. I'm not thrilled with these photos. I really need to bring my proper camera to school. The iPhone just isn't cutting it. I hope that these posters will be helpful to others as they pass by! I know I've referred to them a few times. Do you use the Zones of Regulation in your classroom or school?

We're all familiar with the importance of growth mindset, but often times we see growth mindset being taught at the lower levels as opposed to middle and high school classrooms. We, as teachers, have the
Robert Frost once said “There are three things, after all, that a poem must reach: the eye, the ear, and what we may call the heart or the mind. It is most important of all to reach the heart of the reader.” Anyone who has read a poem and felt the words deep within themselves knows this assertion to be true. Poetry is uniquely capable of touching the hearts of readers. That's why it lends itself perfectly to the underlying messages of growth mindset. Poetry can be engaging when relatable, and it also makes for an easy way to reinforce skills that students have already learned while reading longer works such as interpreting figurative language, citing evidence within the text, finding the central idea, and close reading. But it also has the potential to begin a conversation with students about their own lives and experiences. Poetry can spark an investigation into growth mindset, too. Everyone can relate in some way! The following poems are ones able to reach even the most reticent of poetry readers while shedding light on the themes of growth mindset. Each person, young and old, has had experience with trying to persevere through tough times when things seem to be working against them. These poems present an easy way to show students who may be struggling that they are not alone, while also building on reading and critical thinking skills. POEM #1: "The Man Who Thinks He Can" by Walter D. Wintle Surely such a short poem couldn’t be so powerful? Think again! This poem focuses on the idea that positive thinking is one of the most important factors in succeeding when faced with something difficult. This poem is packed with fun rhyming, but also offers some more difficult phrases to inspire thinking amongst students in order to feel the full meaning of the poem. If you'd like to give students a chance to analyze this poem and connect it to growth mindset, check out this popular set of Growth Mindset Doodle and Do activities. POEM #2: "It Couldn't Be Done" by Edgar Albert Guest Much like The Little Engine That Could, this poem aligns perfectly to growth mindset. That's because it takes a look at positive thinking when completing tasks. This is such a fun poem because the rhyming makes it seem as though it is a fun nursery rhyme. Reading this aloud is sure to get students engaged and interested in this poem and its underlying meanings. POEM #3 - "If-" by Rudyard Kipling Critical thinking is shall I say…critical! In this poem, the author takes the reader through a journey of understanding the qualities in themselves that may set them apart...such a great growth mindset lesson! The best part about this poem is its use of metaphor to get some points across. This poem is sure to keep students thinking and coming to their own conclusions. Poem #4 - "Hard Luck" by Edgar Albert Guest The grass is always greener on the other side—right? In this poem, the writer confronts the concept that we sometimes think that someone else has it much easier than we do when maybe they don’t. Although this longer poem may take more critical thinking on the part of students, its casual wording, such as using the word “ain’t,” can make for a very fun read-aloud! Poem #5 - "Listen to the Mustn'ts" by Shel Silverstein We complete this list with a well-known and loved author—Shel Silverstein! Although a short poem, it still adheres to the idea of perseverance and positive thinking (hello, growth mindset)! This can be a fun treat to include in lessons to give students a mental break with a favorite! Poetry can be so powerful, and when it's combined with important concepts like growth mindset, its impact is immeasurable! I hope you've found a few poems to share with your students! Great news! Since poetry can be so much fun in the classroom, I've put together a set of 5 exclusive poet-"treats" for teachers and students.
