The first thing we have learned in homeroom is about mindsets! We learned the difference between a fixed and a growth mindset. We also learned about how some of us have a fixed mindset (which is totally OK for now) and some of us have a growth mindset. Ms. Bad gave us an activity to try and change our mindsets. You are probably wondering what? Well, on day 1 she gave everyone a sheet of paper and a picture of instructions and 15 minutes on Big Red (our timer). So as we were going, we got frustrated and started saying things like "There are so any steps!", "I quit!", and "UGGGGHHH!!!!" So that showed we had a fixed mindset. The next day we tried the origami instructions again, but we have a tutorial and a lot of help from Ms. Bad and other kids in the class. We were saying things like "I understand now" and "Do you need help?" That proved we are changing from fixed to growth mindset.
