Growth Mindset Journal Prompts for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade:
These Growth Mindset Writing Prompts are perfect for any 1st, 2nd, or 3rd-grade classroom.
This product was created for students and teachers working on a growth mindset in their classrooms.
Please note that if your students are unfamiliar with a fixed mindset and a growth mindset, they will need some basic information before using these journal prompts to understand the connection to a growth mindset.
This might mean that you give a brief explanation for each prompt before completing each activity.
There are 20 different journal prompts, a page for teacher tips, and optional back pages (blank lines if you choose to copy front-to-back for students to have extra space to write).
You will find writing prompts related to the following topics:
- Tricky Tasks
- It’s Too Hard
- Perseverance
- Obstacles
- Success of Others
- Positive and Negative Thoughts
- Many MORE!
This PDF file contains 36 pages + Google Slides.
