The Growth Mindset Library
Your amazing children will be learning about positive thinking throughout their years at P.S. 20.
Growth Mindset is a positive way of thinking.  Instead of saying "I can't", we should think and say "I can't YET".  We are all life long learners.  Our goal is to say to teach all of our students to think and know with enough practice and support "I can do it!".
This is a library with books and videos about having a positive Growth Mindset.
Just click on any picture and a video will pop up for a read aloud or a song all about having a positive Growth Mindset.
