This week we explored some specific social/emotional curriculum using the books of the Buckets, Dippers, and Lids series and the videos from ClassDojo for Growth Mindset. These concepts are super powerful for humans of all ages, but these resources above and tailored perfectly to younger ages to help them understand these concepts and put them into action.
Buckets, Dippers, and Lids encourages us to think about how we contribute to or diminish from the happiness of ourselves and our communities through the imagery of buckets, dippers, and lids. The idea is that we all have an invisible "bucket" full of happiness. When we do things that bring us joy, our buckets become a little more full. When we do kind things for others, we fill two buckets: ours and theirs! If we hurt someone, we are no longer filling buckets, but dipping into them and removing happiness. We can use our "lids" to help protect our happiness and set boundaries for ourselves. In addition, growth mindset is the idea that not only is it beneficial for us to make mistakes, it is HUMAN! Making mistakes is the only way we can grow and give our brains a work out. The short videos from Class Dojo detail a small monster, Mojo, who learns the power of growth mindset as he navigates and faces challenges in his school.
