A Printable Growth Mindset Book for Elementary Students

As teachers, we at Teach Starter HQ understand how challenging it can be to find high-quality, age-appropriate resources to use in your social-emotional lessons. In our constant pursuit to make planning easier for our members, we’ve created this printable Growth Mindset mini-book specifically for younger students. 

While engaging with this printable soil book, students will learn about the following topics:

• How our brain runs the show and controls everything we choose to do.
• We can grow our brains by trying hard things, and making mistakes helps to grow our brain muscle.
• The difference between a fixed mindset and growth mindset.

1. Print out the resource. Create copies as required.
2. Cut each page along the dotted line.
3. Compile the pages in order.
4. Staple the pages along the left-side margin to create a booklet.
