Our Mindsets Matter

We talk about having a Growth Mindset at Captain Elementary. We can do hard work, if we keep trying and learn from our mistakes. In first grade, many students have told me  that they want to read chapter books. I have told them that everyone will be able to do this if they keep working hard in reading. Just like learning to walk, talk or ride a bike, people can achieve if they work hard and LEARN from their mistakes. This attitude is something we develop in our students at Captain Elementary. It comes from our work around the book, The Growth Mindset by Carol Dweck.


Third Grade Students are learning to retrain their brain into a growth mindset.


Mrs. Taylor has read books to the classes about the brain and how it can grow.
A great book to inspire children to continue to work hard and learn from their mistakes.
