Mindset Moments with Mrs. McIntire
October Mindset:
Everything Is Possible
Expanding Student Expectations
The Everything Is Possible Mindset teaches that we are all capable of living extraordinary lives.
Students learn that everything which exists today was once just an idea until someone believed
it was possible and took the actions to make it into reality. This is true with our lives as well – they become, in many ways, whatever we expect them to be.
Throughout the lessons for this mindset, we work with students to help them understand the
incredible promise of their lives, and to envision extraordinary happiness, meaning and success
on their own terms. We seek to instill the belief that their goals are possible, and to foster the courage, discipline and persistence to act on achieving their dreams.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
The 4 critical components of Everything Is Possible:
1) Dream Big – People who achieve the most in life realize that the greatest limitations are
those they place on themselves. This applies to success in school, business, fitness, the quality
of our relationships, and our impact on the lives of others. Dreaming big is about raising our
expectations for our lives, because when we do, the future becomes bigger and brighter.
2) Embrace Creativity – The only time we are creating new things in life is when we’re being
imaginative and innovative. If we want new experiences and things we’ve never had, we must
do things we’ve never done. This could be reading a book to acquire new knowledge, debating
a topic with a friend, or trying a new activity. Life can only change and expand through creative
action!
3) Think Positive – People with a brighter outlook on life are not only happier, but also
accomplish more. We must believe there is more for us in life, expect good things from others,
and find the positives in all situations. These simple acts make us happier in the moment, and
the future becomes infinitely brighter.
4) Act and Adjust – We must act if we want to get results. It is important to plan, but only if the
plans drive us to action; if we do not act, nothing will change. The greatest obstacle to taking
action is fear of failure, but the most successful people in the world don’t see failure, only
feedback. Simply learn from mistakes and move forward, because this is the only way to make
our dreams into reality. Act on them, and be prepared to adjust.

BES Wish List
We have been asked about a schoolwide wish list. We put some hot ticket items, some incentive items, and more items that our teachers would love to have to help students in fun, meaningful ways. We will add to it throughout the year. Thank you for your support and generosity!
