@AmberlieLake I always say to myself, "Wow, do I really sound that way?" It's so interesting to hear it. The other day, one of my kids said that they had a headache and the other responded with, "Keep telling yourself you don't have one and it will go away! Speak it!" lol

@akhwright4him @kkmosher83 Deep thoughts with @akhwright4him. I LOVE THIS!

@ShaynaQuick17 Yes to both of you! This is definitely a learned trait. Practicing is going to help you overcome that. Insecurities can play into this too, definitely a good opportunity to self-reflect. @jacobsjam56 and @ShaynaQuick17

@lynsarge I love this! Each step needs to be a celebration, no matter how big or small!

Ch7A4- Praise can hurt a child if you are not careful with your wording. Focus on the effort they put forth! #GriffisGrows

[Kayla Cooley @KinderIsCOOLey]

Ch7Q3-Students need to know that it's ok to have a challenge, that gives us an opportunity to grow. If they see you do this through modeling, that is priceless. Patience is big in my room and I can be transparent with them to help them connect and identify with me. #griffisgrows

[Kayla Cooley @KinderIsCOOLey]

Ch7A2: I think a big way to put growth-mindset strategies in the classroom is by not letting one negative incident have an affect on the whole day. Moving past it and learning from a mistake is so important to teach students. #GriffisGrows

Ch7A1: This just happened yesterday! SUCH A GOOD MOMENT! I love being able to show my students how far they have come! Definitely growth mindset! I said to her, "Wow! You just keep getting stronger and stronger with your reading! I'm so proud of how hard you try!" #griffisgrows

Ch6.A4- Rejection is an opp. to grow, reflect, and learn new ways to revamp something. Learn to accept it and move forward! #griffisgrows

[Kayla Cooley @KinderIsCOOLey]

Ch6.A3- We are DEFINED by this. We encourage each other's growth, cheer them on, & offer advice/shoulder when someone is down. #GriffisGrows

[Kayla Cooley @KinderIsCOOLey]

Ch.6A2- A growth mindset will take criticism as an opp. to grow. A fixed mindset won't take advice & shut people out. #griffisgrows

[Kayla Cooley @KinderIsCOOLey]

Ch. 6 A1: Relationships require hard work and there's always some give and take. Relationships aren't just one sided. #griffisgrows

[Kayla Cooley @KinderIsCOOLey]

Ain’t that the truth! #kindergarten #teacherhumor
