Promoting Growth Mindset

Welcome to Ms. Kerner and Mrs. Murphy's Fourth Grade Classes!

Do you know what it means to have a Growth Mindset? Our students do! Our classes have come together to discuss how the brain works. Ask your child to explain how neurons are created and how very important they are to our everyday learning. Having a growth mindset will increase our chances of building more and more neurons thus becoming smarter and smarter each day. Please see the chart below for more information.

The Dot is a fantastic book that promotes growth mindset. Never had the opportunity to read this text? Experience the video read aloud version here:

After experiencing this inspirational tale, students created their own "dot" to represent their unique personalities. Their dots are now showcased throughout our hallway bulletin boards. Check out their creative work:
