Self talk is SO important to help students develop

Self talk is SO important to help students develop a growth mindset. We can help students learn positive self talk through modeling, examples, and practice. ❤️

I created the Positive Self Talk lesson to help students understand positive versus negative self talk, and learn to put it into action. 🎉

It has whole class slides with discussion points, read aloud recommendations, a group activity, and an independent craft for students to apply these strategies on their own. 🫶🏼
