Brain Club 2018
Growth Mindset Small Group
Our BRAIN CLUB is a TEAM that learns and practices strategies that help us see our strengths. We meet twice a week during the month to learn about and practice growing our strengths. We will set personal goals that help us grow our brains. Our group will conclude with a BIG PROJECT: YOU ARE OUR TEACHER-LEADERS--YOU TEACH OTHER STUDENTS how they can grow their brains, how they can begin reaching their personal goals, and learn about what they have control over.

PROJECT TIME!!!
You have a group of 15 kindergarten students, staring at you with wide eyes, expecting you to entertain them and teach them about the POWER of their BRAIN and WHAT THEY HAVE CONTROL OVER!!!!
Based on our club, what is important for them to understand?
Who will you teach them this...through a book, through a puppet play, talk with them then have them play a game to practice it? Create a skit?
What do you need to teach them?
Take 10 minutes to work in small groups to share your ideas with each other-then we will re-group.
