Please note that this bundle contains THREE PRODUCTS. It includes growth mindset bell-ringers for K-1, growth mindset bell-ringers for 2-3 grade, and growth mindset bell-ringers for 4th grade and above. These products are not perfectly aligned in terms of weekly topics because of the differences in student needs between these grade levels.

This is what you will find in each product:

Please look at the thumbnails and preview to assess the appropriateness for your class.

NOTE: This pack of activities may be TOO DIFFICULT for Kindergarten at the beginning of the school year! I advise Kindergarten teachers to wait for a couple of months to begin OR be prepared to do the activities as a group (or provide extra support). Some warm-up activities will be quick, but others will require discussions and extra time to complete.

Please note that there are 40 TOPICS that come with affirmation posters. You will also find over 40 vocabulary cards to support the new growth mindset verbiage your students will learn. I advise teachers to display the vocabulary as it is introduced (on a bulletin board or whiteboard). INSTRUCTION WILL BE REQUIRED AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH WEEK TO INTRODUCE NEW VOCABULARY AND CONCEPTS. Be prepared to support students each day during the warm-up as well.

The following topics are covered, week by week, in this full-year growth mindset instructional package:

The scaled questions with emojis that show up on many of the Thursday exercises are designed for students to reflect on how they feel about the given topic. Students can share their thoughts with a partner, small group, or the entire class. There are no incorrect answers for these exercises.

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). REMEMBER THAT FRIDAY ACTIVITIES SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN BOUND JOURNALS because many of them require cutting and pasting.

*This product also includes 35 posters for a bulletin board that explain 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 just don't know how to go about teaching it. Your students will get instruction in EVERY AREA of growth mindset with the topics covered!

Please take a look at the activities in this product to best determine how and when to utilize it them your class. Some students or groups of students will be able to use them as a warm-up, bell ringer, or independent station activity. Other students or groups of students may need a bit more support depending on their level of exposure to growth mindset concepts.

There are SAMPLE ANSWERS available at the end of this file. I emphasize SAMPLE because there are rarely any “correct” answers, as most of the warm-ups are created for students to reflect on their own 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.

There are 35 posters that 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 in a formal way, but rather used as a tool 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 that show up on many of the Thursday exercises are designed for students to reflect on how they feel about the given topic. Students can share their thoughts with a partner, 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-week period 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.

GROWTH MINDSET 4TH GRADE AND UP WARM-UPS:

These growth mindset bell ringer warm-ups are perfect for teachers who are looking for quick, easy to use, information-packed daily growth mindset instruction in the form of warm-ups or bell ringers. These 200 activities, which span across 40 weeks, will give you everything you need to teach your 4TH GRADE AND UP classroom about all things growth mindset!

Please look at the thumbnails and preview to assess the appropriateness for your class.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE 35 TOPICS WITH EXPLANATORY INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS ON EACH TOPIC. THERE WILL BE INSTRUCTION REQUIRED AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH WEEK TO INTRODUCE NEW VOCABULARY AND CONCEPTS. This provides a point of reference and a baseline of information for the given topic. This information can be found at the top of each week's warm-up. There are also posters provided for each of the 35 topics if you choose to use them on a growth mindset bulletin board.

The following topics are covered, week by week, in this full-year growth mindset instructional package:

This daily growth mindset activity product is for YOU if you struggle to squeeze in growth mindset instruction or just don't know how to go about teaching it. Your students will get instruction in EVERY AREA of growth mindset with the topics covered!

Please take a look at the activities in this product to best determine how and when to utilize it them your class. Some students or groups of students will be able to use them as a warm-up, bell ringer, or independent station activity. Other students or groups of students may need a bit more support depending on their level of exposure to growth mindset concepts.

There are SAMPLE ANSWERS available at the end of this file. I emphasize SAMPLE because there are rarely any “correct” answers, as most of the warm-ups are created for students to reflect on their own 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.

There are 35 posters that 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 in a formal way, but rather used as a tool 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 that show up on many of the Thursday exercises are designed for students to reflect on how they feel about the given topic. Students can share their thoughts with a partner, 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-week period 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.

Please note that this bundle contains TWO PRODUCTS. It includes growth mindset bell-ringers for K-1 and for 2-3 grade. These products are not perfectly aligned in terms of weekly topics because of the differences in student needs between these grade levels. If you choose to use the digital portion of these files, you will need to use SEESAW for the Kinder-1st grade file and GOOGLE for the 2nd-3rd Grade file!

This is what you will find in each product:

NOTE: This pack of activities may be TOO DIFFICULT for Kindergarten at the beginning of the school year! I advise Kindergarten teachers to wait for a couple of months to begin OR be prepared to do the activities as a group (or provide extra support). Some warm-up activities will be quick, but others will require discussion and extra time to complete.

Please note that there are 40 TOPICS that come with affirmation posters. You will also find over 40 vocabulary cards to support the new growth mindset verbiage your students will learn. I advise teachers to display the vocabulary as it is introduced (on a bulletin board or whiteboard). INSTRUCTION WILL BE REQUIRED AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH WEEK TO INTRODUCE NEW VOCABULARY AND CONCEPTS. Be prepared to support students each day during the warm-up as well.

*This product also includes 35 posters for a bulletin board that explain each topic above (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 just don't know how to go about teaching it. Your students will get instruction in EVERY AREA of growth mindset with the topics covered!

Please take a look at the activities in this product to best determine how and when to utilize it them your class. Some students or groups of students will be able to use them as a warm-up, bell ringer, or independent station activity. Other students or groups of students may need a bit more support depending on their level of exposure to growth mindset concepts.

There are SAMPLE ANSWERS available at the end of this file. I emphasize SAMPLE because there are rarely any “correct” answers, as most of the warm-ups are created for students to reflect on their own 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.

There are 35 posters that 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 in a formal way, but rather used as a tool 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 that show up on many of the Thursday exercises are designed for students to reflect on how they feel about the given topic. Students can share their thoughts with a partner, 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-week period 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.
