My students LOVE the series for The Engineers. Since Rosie Revere Engineer, students have been engaged in these books that are promoting the Growth Mindset. \r\n\r\nIn this book, Billie Jean Peet is the middle kid in a house full of music. Her older sister sings, her younger sister drums, and even her mouse Pop knows how to bust a move. But when Billie Jean tries to join in, her notes come out sharp and flat. She wants to find out what she is good at; however, the more she tries she worries that she is not good at anthing. \r\n\r\nThis is a true message that my students need to hear and when they saw that in this book they realized that they can be good at things, especially what they like!\r\n\r\nWe have learned about the growth mindset. This book is a perfect addition to our classroom libraries as well as students that I work with throughout my school.","fullyFundedDate":1760744085509,"projectUrl":"project/billie-jean-peet-athlete/9770633/","projectTitle":"Billie Jean Peet, Athlete!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Bogart","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp463507_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1484196534856","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/bogartk"},{"teacherId":463507,"projectId":9757754,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for funding this project.
