Students will read about the work of psychologist Carol Dweck, and her research on children with growth and fixed mindset. A growth mindset is a mindset in which you believe you can become smarter through hard work and practice. A fixed mindset is a mindset in which you believe your level of intelligence is fixed or something that cannot grow. Students will reflect on these ideas by brainstorming ways they can apply a growth mindset to our learning in science class. Finally, we will apply this idea of growth mindset to a challenging cube activity. In this activity students will be challenged to observe patterns on a cube in order to make a claim of what should be on the blank side of the cube. The patterns are difficult and will require students to work hard and think deeply.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, students have been sent home with a syllabus. The signed syllabus as well as required class materials are due by Friday September 7.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s make it a great week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, our focus will be on having a growth mindset.
