I recently finished reading Brene Brown's book Dare to Lead. A book on how we as humans need to be both vulnerable and courageous in order, learn, love and grow. Although the book was written for adults, the message that she shares that is based on her many years of recent is just as relevant in the workplace as it is in the classroom and in the home. Along with her books, Brene also has a great website where she shares inspirational list and manifestos. The following link will take you to her Whole Hearted Parenting Manifesto.
Your Fantastic Elastic Brain: Stretch it Shape It This a great book for teaching children how they have the power to change their brains and what challenges are helpful to learning. The book published by Little Pickle Press also has a fantastic website with activities to use along with the book. Link to lesson plans can be found here Making a Splash Available on kindle at amazon, Making a Splash is a simple straight forward story of what happens when children persevere and work towards a goal with a growth mindset. This would be a great book to project on a large screen and discuss as the children make connections of their own. The Most Magnificent Thing Do you have children that get frustrated when what they are working on doesn't go as they planned? The Most Magnificent Thing is one girl's journey through the creation process and what techniques and strategies she uses to create her most "magnificent thing". What is the most important thing?...
