How Much are you going to grow today?

How Much are you going to grow today?

Did you know that the brain is a muscle that can grow? That may seem obvious but think of all the people you have heard say "I can't..." do something. In reality you may not be limited by physical gifts, i.e. I am not dunking without assistance..., but mentally we can all grow. 

I harken back to a HS phys ed course I had where Mr. Toner taught us to juggle. It was brutal at first, but with steps and most importantly practice it became a skill that I now possess. You would be amazed how effective juggling can be to quiet a group of 6th graders... Thanks Mr. Toner!

This year in Mod Tech and 6th grade computers, look for me to praise your student for their effort. The practice and determination that gets them through when tasks are difficult. If your student mentions that the lesson is too easy, remind them that I love when they push the limits and create new challenges for themselves and me. My YouTube channel has a Growth Mindset playlist where I have linked a few of the challenges that students and I have worked through in the past. They are some of my favorite teaching memories. Finding a solution, through effort and persistence is a wonderful thing.

Thanks for the opportunity to work with your children! #GoWO
