A Peek at the Week:
August Mindset- Everything is Possible !
(7 Mindsets is a program that is used at SES that focuses on Social Emotional Learning and assists with creating meaningful conversations, connections, and relationships. This program is committed to developing whole teachers and whole students. For more information on this amazing program, please visit www.7mindsets.com. )
The Everything is Possible Mindset will orient us toward understanding the importance of and increasing the expectations we have for ourselves, our world, and the future. Essential to this will be the appreciation of our own creative capacity, the importance of maintaining a positive attitude, and the understanding that failure and setback are essential to accomplishing goals.
