The Most Magnificent Thing - Growth Mindset!
This is my favorite read-aloud of the year!! I love the message Ashley Spire's portrays in her book The Most Magnificent Thing!
It is a great book to teach children about having a growth mindset, and that mistakes are part of the process, and sometimes you have to try, try, and try again to be successful.
After reading the book, I share this wonderful stop-motion animation of the book by students at Elmwood School. That gives the students a second chance to hear the message.
We then watch this video about Ormie and his attempt at getting a treat!
We then compare and contrast the two main characters in the films! (Tie in those reading skills)
We talk about what message (moral/lesson) the two stories were trying to teach us, and how we can use what we learned at school and in real life!
Then using postermywall.com, I have students create posters with inspirational messages and ideas to show the growth mindset!
