Hello, it's me
I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to teach
Oll' growth mindset
They say that time's supposed to heal ya
But I ain't done much healing

Hello, can you hear me
I'm in California dreaming about being a mathematician
When we were younger and free
I've forgotten how to have mindset
There's such a difference between us
And a million miles

Hello from the other side
I must have called a thousand times
To tell i need help,
But when I call you never seem to be home

Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I need your help
But it don't matter it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

Hello, how are you?
It's so typical of me to talk about myself I'm sorry
I hope that you're well
Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened

It's no secret that the both of us
Are running out of time

So hello from the other side
I must have called a thousand times
To tell you I need help with Growth mindset
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I need you
But it don't matter it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

Ooooohh, anymore
Ooooohh, anymore
Ooooohh, anymore
Anymore

Hello from the other side
I must have called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for not listening
But when I call you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I need help
But it don't matter it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

You missed several capitals and missing words, to name a few. Don't mean to burst your bubble. It's just a fact.

This is a growth mind set.
No time for fixed mindsets,
this is a growth mindset,
this a growth mindset song.

Let's not be upset when ever we get a question wrong.
Just learn from it,
next time improve.
This is a growth mindset.
This is a growth mindset song.


Growth mindsets are awesome.
They help you learn,
they help you succed,
they help you out grow your fixed mindsets.




GROWTH MINDSETS ARE AWESOME

There is growth mind
All in the air
The smell of
Paper in the air
The lead scratching
And ink leaking
But....
Under of of that
There is learning around us
Building smartnesseses (which I don't have)
But..
There are still mistakes
But..
That's OK
'Cause that what growth Mindset
Is all about

they help you out grow your fixed mindsets.
This is the growth mindset song.


We might have fixed mindsets.
They aren't bad,
but aren't good.
They are exactly that,
fixed.
You don't learn anything. Fixed.
This is the growth mindset song.

Fixed mindsets are fixed at that learning level.
Growth mindsets aren't.
They learn new things.
This is the growth mindset song.

Not everybody is same,
If we only do things that are easy,
we can’t learn anything.
Mistakes proof you are trying,
Every mistake you make are progress.
It doesn’t matter how good you do as long as you don’t stop.
Challenges are what make your life different as before,
Growth is not for everybody,
Just remember you can only learn from failures.

Growth Mindset Poem

Growth mindset is great for your brain,
without it you may go insane,
failing makes some people mad,
but with growth mindset,
you don’t need to worry about that,
all sorts of people make mistakes,
embracing them,
Is what you should do,
then learn,
it’s what's natural for you,
people say,
when you have a growth mindset,
you can only fail,
if you give up,
anyway,
haven't you hear,
if your “plan A” did not work,
there are still 25 more letters in the alphabet,
if nothing works,
at least there is proof that you are trying,
with growth mindset,
Your brain can grow so much,
when you make mistakes!

Hey its growth mindset,
you need to know math.

No need to be afraid,
because you're going to be good at math math math.

You're obviously going to get better.
There may be mistakes, but learn them and go on.

You're going to learn.
You just have to embrace your mistakes.

Dont go for a fixed mindset
because your mind will keep growing.

Dont be scared,
there are all sorts of levels out there.

Bring your level up and keep on going.
Change the game.

Increase your fame.
Change you attitude towards learning.

You need to be roaring.
Keep this in your head.

I need to rise above all,
growth mindset is your call.

Every fail has improved the place,
Brave experience confused,
Even if the failure is also strong, perhaps only a little strength,
To change the wind and rain together;
Do not give up Do not give up,
maybe Dream far away,
but Every second you need to effort
Do not give up Do not give up,
Continue achieve your dream

DISCLAIMER
I AM NOT A POET, ALL DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR EA FROM THIS TERRIBLE POEM IS NOT MY FAULT, TIME FOR MY POEM

Each fail makes learning better
Growing more with each endeavor
A growth mindset is the best
Makes me smarter than the rest
(people boo)

Don't give up no matter what
It will only make you stronger
Don't give up no matter what
Or you will become fresh meat!

Mistakes are a part of our life.
If we don't make them,
we'll never learn.
If we never learn,
then we'll never make progress.
The best teachers are the mistakes we made in the past,
each mistake is a step closer to success.
Failure is not the opposite of success,
it is a key to success.

RUMAYSA

Great for learning
Ready to learn
Optimism
Whenever and wherever
Think positive
Happy thoughts

Mindful
In depth
No giving up
Dabbing when you succeed
Success after failure
Enthusiasm

You can learn from your mistakes,
never give up,
keep on trying.
How do I learn?
I ask questions. Yes I do
What is the outcome
I learn something new
When something seems hard
What do I do?
I push on until I am through.

Danka yuu danka ya.

mistakes are helpful
even though in the moment
no one likes them
but in the end,
you only learn from your mistakes

Lin Xin (I am NOT good at poems)
5/10/2017 02:01:41 pm

If you make a mistake, try again
If you make a mistake, try again

Don't ignore them whatever you do
Cuz if you don't,
You will learn, learn, learn,

More mistakes equal more learning,
It helps your brain grow, grow, grow!

If your stuck, try again
Try different ways,
Try again, again
Your brain will grow...

(AND WE ARE DONE THIS POEM :) )

Felicity

I make mistakes,
but that's how I learn,
I take the harder question,
and fail them at first,
but I wont stop trying until I'm getting it right,
so that's way I see a beyond light,
don't give up make up,
give it your best,
and even if you fail,
your brain is so much bigger then the rest,
so you should feel proud for being yourself,


Don't be scared even when you fail,
cause your the strongest person out all of them,
so don't give up,
give in,
let go,

Because that's the only way you will ever grow!

Tomas

every day I make mistakes

But that doesn't mean I'm not great at what I do

When ever I try and fail I teach my brain something new

so that's why I never give up and never give in to my fears of failing.

study math it's worth training.

Some teachers just don't explain math in the right way

so study hard and make sure there is no stress ok

just analyze your mistakes, make something out of nothing if you really have to

don't throw that paper away! it has great information on it that came from you.

get help from a friend or teacher if your stuck

just don't get it from some sort of mallard duck.

Thank you for teaching me growth mindset
I haven’t gave up on a math question yet

I will never give up, I will always try
But sometimes I will cry

I will always be smart
I can always restart

I get smarter every day when I use my brain
There is always knowledge I can gain

My name is Evan
And I'm in math heaven

You have the power
To grow like a flower

(I ran out of time so not that good)

I used to listen to the facts and memorising to be stuck
Scared to say the words “I don’t understand”
So I sat quietly, guessed politely
The test’s I had were more than confusing
I guess that teachers forgot they had a choice
To teach kids different ways to see
I Learned nothing, so I felt dum inside
You told me to memorize first, but I did more(hey!)
Already learning through my mindset
You see my work, you realise
There is, more ways to learn
You told me to memorise, but I did more
Get ready 'cause my growth mindset
Is going to, help me see it all
I got the eye of the tiger, a thinker
Dancing through the check in’s
'Cause I can understand, and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I can understand, and you're gonna hear me roar!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar!
Now I'm learning like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
My grades went from zero, to me being my own hero
0.5+0.5, or half a square + half a square (hey!)
Already learning so much!
You see the students, embarrassing there mistakes
Like rainbows, to teachers eyes
There's pictures, instead of words
Get ready 'cause we're not done yet
I get it done, with strategies more than one
I got the eye of the tiger, a thinker
Dancing through the check in’s
'Cause I can understand, and you're gonna hear me answer
confidently, more confident than ever
'Cause I can understand, and you're gonna hear me roar!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me answer!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me roar!
Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar!
I got the eye of the tiger, a thinker
Dancing through the check in’s
'Cause I can understand, and you're gonna hear me answer
Right or wrong I can learn from all
'Cause I can understand, and you're gonna hear me answer!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me answer!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're gonna hear me answer!

Growth mindset is a special thing,

And I can adjust things when hey don't go as planned.

Ava

I pressed submit! Opps part 2

I can ask for help when I don't understand,
And when I'm done I feel pride,
I always try my best,
And don't stop in till I get it right.
I never give up, I never do.
When I think I can do things,
I always do, and that is the joy of growth mindset!

thomas
5/11/2017 12:43:03 pm

growth mindset
something we all can improve on
when we fail, we just quit
but if you have growth mindset
learn from it
next time you fail
learn from your mistakes
you need growth mindset
and growth mindset needs you!

Growth mindset?

Growth mindset is very very imported to our files,because think about it if we dont maker mistakes we will never get better and our brain wont be as smarter as it is know.
Mistakes are a very very big part of our life

never give up and keep trying no mater what giving up is not good at all.



dont forget keep trying!

Kate
5/11/2017 01:27:22 pm

Growth mindset
It's why you are who you are today
It's why rockets can get in space
And doctors have invented a brace
You need to keep looking forward
Not back in the past
And use your mistakes to learn
When you use growth mindset
There's no knowledge that won't be your's
When you use growth mindset
You could open so many doors

Haya

Learning is good
Even though you don't like it
But sometimes in the future
You need it

Daniel
5/11/2017 01:49:15 pm

Growth mindset
Is important
Even if we didn't succeed try again
In every time, in everyday
We have a work sheet in front of us
But it won't make a difference staring at the window
And chatting with your friends

*Beat going*

Hm
What's 9+10
Isn't it 21 or 19
I will ask my friends
I will ask my teacher
I will ask other people
But I realized asking people won't make a difference
So I will do some simple addition, and simple calculation
And the answer is 19

This is a song.

I wrote this twice.
Now I'm writing it again.

Please, teach me how, to make my mind grow. 3+5, is not all I know. Fixed can be good, but not a mindset. I want it to grow like a flower, bloom in the spring, to learn new things, an go, cha-Ching! Please, encourage me to grow, not just to know.

Roy

Growth Mindset is the key to success.
With it, you are more likely to succeed
without it, you are more likely to fail
Fixed Mindset is the key to failure.
With it, you are more likely to fail
Without it, you are more likely to succeed.
