Teamwork Skills and Growth Mindset

Today we talked about being a boss vs. a leader.  As a class, we sorted attributes under the heading, and discussed why they went there.

We completed a team building challenge, working in groups to build the highest tower out of spaghetti noodles, tape, string, and a marshmallow (on top!)

We also talked about having a Growth Mindset. We listened to the books "Dot" and "Ish" by Peter H Reynolds. Students were then asked to go around to the different words "creativity, mistakes, dedication, success, risks, courage, effort, persistence" and write or draw what this word means to them. We looked at pictures of famous people who have failed in order to succeed, such as Albert Einstein or Walt Disney.

The students also came up with their own set of classroom rules, which they signed at the end of the day.
