My Poem:
Do you know what growth mindset is?
Well it's a really awesome thing
It is when you believe you can solve hard problems and learn new things
It just makes you want to sing!
Your mind grows and you open up to new angles
It just removes those shackles from your creative part of your brain
Open up, and great things will happen
You will get smarter, and you won't be scared about tests and big problems
You won't get stressed out and you will actually embrace your mistakes
Your mind is visual and you want to see things
And when you see those things, growth mindset occurs
Growth Mindset!

One Step Ahead Of You....
Other kids:
In the class theres someone new
All the classmates stare at you!
Why are you here?
Why do you look that way?
You smell bad
And in a very bad way!

The kid:
I am scared
I am different
I am nervous like a kitten
Why do they stare at me
Theres something wrong with me!
Why do they do that?
Why am I here?
What is my purpise
I can't even hear!
Everyone is shouting
I feel I want to scream!
Why can't I go home?
How can I stop this!

AHHHHH! AHHHHH!
And there everything stopped!
They all stared even more!
And there....
Right There...
Was Julie Warton
(And the truth is, she really is a wart!)
She stood up to my in laughter.
Her little snotty mouth just was about to open...
And RIGHT THERE RIGHT NOW.....
I PUNCHED HER, I PUNCHED HER IN HER SNOTTY MOUTH!
It felt awesome!

Juliet:
I will stop it right there..
The message that I am trying to tell you is..

It's to show that you should never JUDGE
That is my word for the day!

Judge!
Judge!

when I have trouble
I feel like i'm in a bubble
I can't figure out this problem
but every one is so far in front of me

but I listen to my brain that's thinking hard
I try and try and try again
and that's how my brain grows so

learn and think hard learn and think hard
that's growth mindset

LEARN!

Growth Mindset Poem

Have you ever heard of Growth Mindset?
It’s a really amazing thing!
When you fail your mind grows,
Challenges help your mind spring.
Can’t do a math question?
Believe you can do it.
Then think, think and think!
If you get something wrong
Don’t worry,
You will learn from it.
When you can’t do something
Don’t give up
Try, try, again.
When you finally get it,
You don’t have to fret about it.
Take risks
Even if you fail,
You can always try again.
So, if you’re stuck
And feel like you’re out of luck,
Just use you’re Growth Mindset
So you can finally get through it!

My Poem:

Unsettling, agitating, always aging, now I'm hesitating
Giving up on hope now my future's waiting
Don't understand and who's relating?
I'm so quiet when I could be stating
I'm just hating
when there's no innovating

This is my poem btw:

When you get stressed and feel like you're going to fail
Just breath and start thinking a different way
That's when Growth Mindset occurs
When you make a mistake that's a good thing
So keep making mistakes and you're brain will grow and grow

When your stressed or scared just think it threw and it will be easier because mistakes are powerful. That's what growth mindset is. So keep on making mistakes in math or in your life because they really are AMAZING and powerful. So make your brain bigger by making mistakes and keep on making mistakes. Because mistakes are powerful!

Ps sorry if I used mistakes a lot

My poem

I was down bellow felling slow I thought there was nothing I could do but a key in a lock that opens the door to showed me there's a hole world out there for me to explore and what ever you need to know just look and you will find your goal

I wanted to do more than that I can all ready do I pushed my self harder but
if you want to do something set your mind to it because there people and places around you that can show you what to do if your stuck so you can learn more and grow your mind

Growth mindset will show you that you can do anything you set your mind to

So push farther and try your hardest and never give up and then you will see how much growth mindset can be.

Once you walk into your classroom you slump into your chair
Then you take out your math book like you don't even care
Then your teacher does attendance and finally you say here!!
And then the bell rings for recess and your ready to take a break!
But recess flyes bye fast so you got to do your math
But you can't answer the question so you are starting to give up!
You you are melting with depression and you say to yourself!
I'm not smart enough so now I should just quit!
so you leave with disappointment and are ready to cry.
But you shouldn't feel this way because really your doing great
So you should go back to school with a smile on your face
Open up your math book like your winning the race
Wait for attendance and say HERE! With energy
And once recess is over you can jump up with glee
You are making mistakes and you are proud to be.

Don't be afraid to make a mistake.
Someone might think you're stupid.
It doesn't matter what that person thinks.
It only matters that you learn.
Doesn't matter how many times you try.
Learning is critical.
When you're sitting at school trying to do your math.
No matter how hard it is, you're still gonna learn.

1 You look the door, you take a good stare
2 You're stuck now, you actually know you’re there
3 You open that door with the biggest fright and the butterflies start erupting
4You're in there you're already waiting for the class to end
5 Those numbers they are on the board they aren't even numbers you know its like you're in kindergarten again, but somehow everyone else knows what those numbers are
6 You now say you can’t do it because you can’t you really can’t
7 you’re sad letting everything you know down
8 You stop you gaze into the little stray of sunlight beating in between the curtains and you think
9 You think about what good you can do
10 You’ll try it and you’ll be great at it even if you don’t get it right
11 You tried you got it! You actually got it
12 Going on for the rest of the class you feel powerful like you can do everything, and you can!
13 You just believe and you know you can do anything if you put your mind to it

When You Want To learn(something new):
If your willing to try you can accomplish great things,
You might feel nervous.
You might feel scared.

But if you have a positive attitude,
Things will work out.
You might fail horribly.

You will likely make mistakes,
When something is new.
You might need instructions.
You might need some help.

If you keep doing it you'll get better!

It's okay if you make a mistake
It's the only way to learn
It's okay if you make a mistake
It's the only way to succeed
When you stop fearing mistakes
Growth, creativity and mindset follow

A new year a new teacher you may think it's ok but then you look
It's some kind of creepy craly leaches but then you see it's ok
Then you see it's ok to make mistakes and it's ok to be ok
In the end you can be awesome but you may say how by learning
Your mind has to bend and learn
You may need a friend for help but that's ok
Because in the end that creepy crawly leather was a achally your teacher and made you learn.

Time for a test
I'm feeling really stressed
Numbers on the page
make me want to rage

I'm scared I'll make a mistake
because everyone will think I'm dumb

But, I have to remember
It's ok to make mistakes

Making mistakes helps me learn,
getting the wheels in my brain to turn

Take my time, listen close, ask for help
That's how I'll learn, that's how I'll grow

Have you heard of growth mindset its a wonderful thing
Its something that makes you want to learn and sing
First day of school and you don't know what to do
You have a test then you realize there's nothing to lose
just keep trying, keep learning keep doing what you do
there's still a lot to learn and im learning from you.
Your Algebra test is really a mess
you cheated and you have to confess
Just sharpen your pencil and get ready for math
your still learning and your on the right path
You have a high IQ and there's a lot to do
so get up and start your day.
Hooray!

It might be challenging now,
but I will do it, someday, somehow,
but even if I fail,
I will try again so I am not stale,
I know that my brain is growing each day,
developing strategies to succeed
and
building self confidence that I need.

When you're in doubt,
DON'T FREAK OUT!
Do not fret!
There's something called growth mindset!
What it does?
I'll tell you because...
It's an amazing thing
that makes your mind go DING!
It clicks in your brain
With no extra pain!
You should believe in yourself
because it will make you smart quite well!
When you believe,
You will ALWAYS achieve!
Just say you're good,
and you really could!!
Just be open to learning!
And your mind won't be burning!
It really helps,
So do nothing else
Than... GROWTH MINDSET! ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

You can try all you want
But it won't help
Unless you believe in yourself
Getting the answer
Is all well and fun
As long as you struggled through the run
Now what is this called
You may suspect
Well it is called "growth mindset"
Working hard
Is the key
And then you will finish the mystery
Now you try
Have your fun
