MULBERRY ELEMENTARY
This year, the
students and staff at Mulberry have been focusing our mindsets. We used to think that our intelligence was
fixed - meaning we were either smart, or we were not. Scientists have proven again and again that
this is simply not true. Our students are
striving to have a growth mindset. That
means that they embrace challenges, give their best effort, learn from
feedback, become inspired by other people’s successes, and believe their
intelligence can change through hard work.
To celebrate our growth mindsets,
Muskie Boys Basketball team members took time out of their busy schedules to
talk about goal setting and hard work.
Players visited classrooms and read the story Dream Big by
Deloris Jordan. It is a story about
Michael Jordan and his dream to play basketball in the Olympics. The players also talked about all the hard
work and practice that it takes to be a basketball player. Then students shared and wrote their own big
dreams on papers that are posted around the school.
