Over the course of several years as a teacher, I have seen students really grasp the concept of growth mindset through literature. What is growth mindset, you ask? It is training your brain that you can do hard things! Yet it takes work, sometimes mistakes and failures, and perseverance. Books are a wonderful way to create those A-ha moments for students to develop and practice growth mindset. The books in this project have been carefully selected and chosen over years of observing children and having limited access to these books in class or local libraries. One of the books chosen is Emmanuel's Dream. It is the true story of a boy who doesn't let an adversity keep him from pursuing his life dreams. This collection will get my classroom community off to growing and learning in the new school year.
