Our Growing Brains

Today we talked about our sunflower growth rubric.  When we learn a new skill, sometimes it's hard for us.  If we keep working hard and practicing, eventually we'll "get" it.  We might even teach others!
This is what it's like when we are just learning a new skill.  This is a level 1.

This is what it's like when we are getting better at a skill, but we're not there YET. This is a level 2.

This is what it's like when we "get it."  This is a level 3.

When we know how to do something so well that we could teach it to others (planting seeds of our learning),
it is a level  4.
Here is a link to some great Mojo videos about growth mindsets.  Click on each picture to link to a learning video.
