In the fall, second grade students learned all about having a growth mindset - knowing that our brains are like a muscle, and get a little stronger each time we do something that challenges us. Even though we can have a strong growth mindset and look forward to challenges, they are still difficult! Not meeting a challenge right away can make us feel frustrated and want to quit. When we feel this way, we are in The Dip! Second grade students are watching a short video series developed by an educational resourced called ClassDojo which explains the concept of The Dip, and teaches us what to do when we feel like giving up. Below you will find Episode 1!
