1st Grade Creates Origami

As I mentioned last week, the 1st grade students have been working on developing a “growth mindset.”  To help them think more about choosing activities that will increase their skill level, as well as perseverance, we spent the last couple of classes doing origami.  After doing one project together, the students got to choose what to try next.  I have been very proud of how hard all of the students worked on their creations.  Several did not finish theirs, but we discussed that it was still beneficial for them because they were trying their best and made their brains stronger by learning from their mistakes.  If you are interested, you can read more about the experience on my other blog, Engage Their Minds.
