Welcome Back!

I am a firm believer in the power of the growth mindset, and approach each year with the belief that all my students are capable of learning and growth. What is growth mindset? Simply put, it is the belief that intelligence and ability are not fixed traits or that we are born with only so much of them. Rather, with effort and perseverance all students are capable of academic achievement.

 

Every day, your child will be immersed in the growth mindset in my classroom. My students will be asked to take educational risks. They will be praised not for their mental quickness or natural intelligence but for approaching the process of learning with grit and determination. And they will grow in ways they never thought possible. We will start each day by reciting a pledge establishing our classroom as a place of growth:

 

                            “Today I will:

                             Have a good learning attitude.

                             Be an active learner and grow my brain.

                             Be a mindful problem solver.”
