This product also includes 35 posters for a bulletin board that explains each topic above (as of 10/23/17, a black-and-white copy of these posters is also included). A pre-assessment and a post-assessment are also included as well as sample answers or notes for each activity.
This daily growth mindset activity product is for YOU if you struggle to squeeze in growth mindset instruction or don’t know how to teach it. Your students will get instruction in EVERY AREA of growth mindset with the topics covered!
Please look at the activities in this product to best determine how and when to utilize it in your class. Some students or groups can use them as a warm-up, bell ringer, or independent station activity. Other students or groups may need a bit more support depending on their exposure to growth mindset concepts.
There are SAMPLE ANSWERS available at the end of this file. There are rarely any “correct” answers, as most warm-ups are created for students to reflect on their thinking and growth. Occasionally, there will be a tip or trick in the sample answers. Those are there to guide you but should not be viewed as an exclusive or ultimate idea for approaching a topic.
35 posters correspond to each of the 35 concepts presented. Please note that there are 40 weeks of warm-ups, but 5 of those weeks are reserved for self-reflection (and there is NOT a corresponding poster for those weeks).
The growth mindset pre-assessment and post-assessment are designed as reflection tools. These are not designed to be graded or evaluated formally but used to reflect on changes in thinking and behavior (most of the questions are the same so that students have a clear way to compare shifts in their thinking).
The scaled questions with emojis on many Thursday exercises are designed for students to reflect on their feelings about the given topic. Students can share their thoughts with a partner, a small group, or the entire class. There are no incorrect answers for these exercises.
Each 8th week (Week 8, Week 16, Week 24, Week 32, and Week 40), there is an opportunity for students to reflect on their learning, their growth, and the areas they want to continue to work on. The inventory on these weeks will have statements that are REPEATED from previous weeks. It is a good idea to ask students to save their warm-ups for each 8 weeks so that they can compare some of their inventory answers (looking for growth, in particular).
At the very end of this product, you will find an OPTIONAL cover page and Table of Contents that you can use IF YOU CHOOSE TO BIND all the activities together for each student at the beginning of the year (or the beginning of the instruction). If you copy one sheet per week, your students will not need those pages.
NOTE: THIS FILE INCLUDES A DIGITAL DISTANCE LEARNING OPTION!
This product includes a digital option (as well as the no prep printable option). The instructions for utilizing the digital portion appear at the end of the packet.
This PDF file includes 195 pages + Google Slides.
Hey Sheryl thanks for reaching out!
I would probably recommend the 4th and up because I do believe that most 3rd graders could do it.
However, you know your students better than I, so I would recommend downloading the free version of both so that you have a sample to look at. All topics are similar layouts etc., so you will be able to determine the best fit for your class by downloading the free sample.
Here is the free sample for 2nd-3rd https://www.kirstenskaboodle.com/product/free-growth-mindset-bell-ringer-warm-ups-2nd-3rd-grade/
Here is the free sample for 4th and Up https://www.kirstenskaboodle.com/product/free-growth-mindset-bell-ringer-warm-ups-4th-up/
I hope this helps.
Much gratitude,
Kirsten

I loved everything in this resource. My fifth graders loved the flipbook. They reflected and practiced self-awareness, which is something we covered in SEL. I did this at the end of the year as a fun activity.
I am very pleased with everything I purchased from your store! Thank you for creative, colorful, USEFUL resources!
My class does Daily Affirmations, and these cards create great conversation starters as well as reminders. They enhance our Growth Mindset board so beautifully and help keep me on track when I start to feel frustrated. Print, laminate a set for your wall, and have kids copy them into a journal. Such a great boost to start the day!
This is an amazing resource and I have used it over and over again! Thank you for such tremendous products! It barely fits in a year without skipping a few lessons.
Getting to the main idea of a passage can be difficult for some students. Use this digital, as I did, for morning work or homework. Print out the PDF version and work small group.
This is everything you could need and more. The titles are awesome, and the activities are so well done. My kids loved it across both of my grades. Wow!
I love this bundle! I have used it for the past two years and it has been so great to use it to get to know my new students. My students also enjoy doing them as they are easy activities to do.
I loved this resource! It was simple to use, engaging, and relevant. I loved the simplicity of each slide. The text and graphics were kid-friendly, beautifully formatted for easy reading, and best of all, there was no prep!
I’ve purchased many Growth Mindset resources over the years, and this is by far one of the best. It is thoughtfully put together, thorough, and meaningful. The students are engaged…and mindsets are shifting! Love it. Thanks!
The examples on the cards were awesome. I was able to use the cards in multiple ways (bingo, flashcards, etc). This is an awesome resource.
I love ALLLLL of your resources and this one is no exception! I use these (laminated) Yoga cards to reference when either myself or another student is leading the class in Brain Breaks in between subjects.
This has been a great resource for our journal writing in class! The prompts are always thought provoking and even get my hesitant writers to get something on the paper. Thank you!
WOW!!!!!! Five stars is not enough!!! I could not have been more impressed with the quality of this product!!!! Do not hesitate to purchase from this seller!
This resource doesn’t take much time to prep. I made copies on color paper, cut, and laminated them so I could store them for future use. Each morning, I share an affirmation that I feel my students can relate to and I have them share their feelings or point of view on the affirmation. I post each day’s affirmation on the wall near the classroom door, and we reference past ones as needed. My goal is to have a wall of affirmations by the end of the school year.
I absolutely loved these awards! I love all the categories. I love all the sayings that go with each category. I love how there are boy and girl awards for each category, and most of all I love how super easy it was to use! All I had to do was enter my name and date and it was added to each award automatically. Then all I had to do was fill in the names. Thanks for this resource!
This is an excellent resource. Well created, student friendly, clear and concise! Thank you so much for sharing your talents!
The task cards work wonderfully in literacy centers. They provide quick review and serve to upgrade student’s writing. Environment skill support is essential, and the anchor charts provide the scaffolding needed by many.
This was the best resource I have found for teaching my students strategies for figuring out unknown words. We completed one of each type of activity in a whole group setting. Then they practiced with a partner before doing their independent practice. My students were highly successful with this resource. Thank you!
These task cards are set-up for easy use by the students in the Google classroom. The text is engaging and with the recommendation for 3rd grade to 6th grade, all students have an opportunity to have success.
I used this during our Owen & Mzee unit on an emergency SUB day! The digital resource was perfect to assign via google classroom at home. I loved that my students were able to independently review multiple skills with our current text.

My third grade class has loved working through these each morning as they come in. My students who struggle with the reading and vocabulary don’t mind asking a classmate for help because they’re enjoying the short tasks and what they are learning about.

Works well for third grade with minimal scaffolding some weeks, other weeks are seamless. Thank you for creating a easy to use, easy to implement resource for Growth Mindset that the kids can do independently!

Love it, I use this almost daily but most definitely weekly. Kids often refer back to a concept they have learned. So cool!
Amanda Ang –
The Friday activities are a good summary of each week’s focus, so I only used those pages for my class. Since I do not have lessons with my class every day, the Friday activities were engaging enough. Wonderful resource! Love the posters!

This set is awesome! I used this as morning work and it was a great way to start off the day! The students enjoyed the activities and it was great to have engaging conversations about having a positive attitude.

I have been using this for my morning work. The resource is nicely laid out and I like the supporting pictures of each weekly topic. I am finding that many of my students are not able to complete the activities independently but need some help with reading and understanding the skills. A great resource though with some good conversations. We find that we are talking about skills and topics that we have learned about weeks later!
Michelle Smith –
Great resource thanks!

The packet is self-explanatory so they third graders can get started right away. They are short, simple but meaningful daily activities that follow the same format weekly.

Great resource for SEL or morning work.
Kimberly K –
My students enjoy the daily discussion and “tiny” box for writing about their thinking. It is helping them to have a better understanding of how we think and make decisions to try or give-up. It’s very enlightening.
Holly K –
A great resource that allows students to think about themselves and allows the teacher to learn more about their students!
Barbara S –
Great resource!

I enjoy using this resource as morning work for my students. It’s extra reading and writing practice and I’m excited to see how their thinking grows in the end of the year! At times they do get confused and end up finishing a few days instead of one (for example they would do monday and tuesday instead of just monday) but it’s something we’re still working on!

I was looking for something to have my students do right when they come to class, that allowed them to develop self-efficacy, self-regulation, confidence, and more. With this tool, students are able to reflect on themselves as a person and look internally for what they need to see in themselves. I look forward to seeing how they grow through the year.

Growth mindset is great for our students these add extra practice for them.
