Kickoff Lesson Plan

Students will complete a School Success Pre-Assessment Likert Self-Check to establish baseline learning habits, distinguish between fixed and growth mindsets using visuals and modeling, and create two positive self-talk statements to support perseverance when tasks feel challenging.

Early mindset awareness builds resilience and academic confidence. By assessing current habits and practicing growth-based self-talk, 3rd graders learn to embrace challenges and persist through setbacks.
