Mini Lesson: Mistakes

How do you feel when you make a mistake?

Annoyed?

​

Frustrated?

​

How do you think other people see you when you make a mistake?

​

What else?

​

Quietly: Think of a mistake you made recently, or a big mistake you made in the past.

Think Quietly

Think of all those feelings and let them out!

Scrunch up your paper brain into a tiny ball.

​

Now unfold the paper carefully and see what happened.

Trace the lines with a pen or marker.

Those lines are new connections in your brain.

When you make mistakes, your brain actually grows!

Can you think of a time when you discovered something new from a mistake?

​

Think silently about this for a minute on your own.
