Last year our school-wide 6 C's focus was 'Collaboration.' While we continue our discussions and activities in order to support developing our collaboration skills, our focus has shifted somewhat to 'Character.' We have been talking a lot as a school community and within our classrooms, about what 'Character' means and how we can develop it within ourselves. Growth Mindset (versus Fixed Mindset) and developing 'Grit' are huge aspects of character development as we learn to see challenges and obstacles as opportunities for new growth and development rather than catastriphic events. We watched a video on mindset and read the book 'When Sophie Thinks She Can't' by Molly Bang. The 'Y' chart above is what students thought character 'Looks Like', 'Sounds Like' and 'Feels Like.'
