FROM MRS. MUNSON
This week’s discussion topic is “I do not like it, but I will accept it.” Things don’t always go the way we want them to. Learning to be flexible thinkers and accepting things that we don’t necessarily like or agree with is a valuable life skill that uses a growth mindset. We want to teach kids how to respond gracefully, be flexible thinkers, and use the coping skills needed so they can be successful at home, in school, and in their future careers.
Here are some books to read together:
· I Just Don’t Like the Sound of NO! by Julia Cook
· You Get What You Get by Julie Gassman
· A Little Spot of Flexible Thinking by Diane Alber
