Fostering a Growth Mindset at Home

Dear parents,

It is important for us to cultivate a growth mindset in our children. A child with a growth mindset believes that with effort, patience and perseverance, he can improve - whether it is his academic or any other skill. On the other hand, a child with a fixed mindset believes that his intelligence and talents are predisposed.

You can partner us in fostering a growth mindset in your child at home:

(1) Pay attention and verbally praise your children for skills that do not sound predetermined: hard work, persistence, rising to a challenge, learning from a mistake and etc. rather than being 'smart or 'brilliant'.

(2) Be a growth mindset role model to your children.

(3) Encourage your child to forget taking the easy route and embrace challenges.

(4) Remember, growth mindset isn't just academic.

(5) Discourage envy of peers, and talk to your child about what he can learn from others who appear more successful.

Let's work together in bringing the best out of your children.=)

Story Mountain

Dear children,

In today's lesson, we learnt how we can use a story mountain to help us plan our writing. It helps us to think clearly about the plot, structure of what we are writing. Hope that you find the story mountain useful in your writing. Writing is a process. It may be difficult in the beginning but it will get better over time. We can do it! =)

Here are the slides which we have gone through in class today.












Lots of love,
Mrs Lu
