The Power of Yet Lesson Plan
Students will learn to transform “I can’t” statements into “I can’t…yet” to build perseverance; they will create a ‘Yet’ statement card illustrating a goal they’re working toward.
Teaching the power of “yet” fosters a growth mindset, helping young learners embrace challenges, build resilience, and persist when faced with difficult tasks.
