Growth Mindset is the belief system that suggests that one's intelligence can be grown or developed with persistence, effort, and a focus on learning (Mindsets in the Classroom: Building a Culture of Success and Student Achievement in Schools, by Mary Cay Ricci). The games I am requesting for my students will allow them to think critically and embrace challenges. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase students critical thinking skills, you will ultimately help them persevere through challenges. Students will be able to choose which game - Roller Coaster Challenge, Rush Hour, Shape Logic, Brick by Brick, TipOver, or Suspend, they want to play and work independently or in groups. Students will be able to use these games during indoor recess and after they have finished other assignments. These games will allow me to provide students with the opportunities to struggle and learn how to think critically at the same time. I will be able to take what students learn through these games and translate it into academic challenges.
