🚨 MATH MINDSET MATTERS! 🚨
Are your students saying “I’m just not a math person”? Time to flip the script. ✨

💡 Growth Mindset in Math Intervention isn’t just a buzzword — it’s the key to helping students believe they can do hard things. Here’s how to make it happen:

🌱 Share the Power of “YET”
“I’m not good at this... YET.” That tiny word builds BIG confidence.

📣 Set the Expectation
From day one, let students know: We work hard here, and we master skills together.

👀 Model Growth Mindset
Let them see YOU struggle and grow. Show them it’s okay not to have all the answers as long as you’re willing to learn.

👏 Praise Perseverance
Reward the grit, not just the grade. Math isn’t about shortcuts. It’s about solving real problems.

📊 Monitor Progress
Track growth visibly. Let students see their own improvement and build math confidence one win at a time.

💪 The goal? Progress over perfection.
✨ Math confidence grows when students feel empowered to try, fail, and try again.

⏳ Countdown to back to school!

Here in New Hampshire we are going back right after Labor Day this year. (This is extra late - even for us!)

I made this countdown for my own kiddos.

DIY Steps
1️⃣ Take a screenshot from your school website to find a photo of your school.

2️⃣ Drag and drop it in PowerPoint. (Size PowerPoint to 11” x 8.5”) Use PowerPoint tools to lighten it and remove color.

3️⃣ Insert a table with no background on top of the picture. We’re starting our countdown with 33 days to go so I used a 3 by 11 table.

4️⃣ Print and display where it can be seen daily.

5️⃣ Color in one rectangle per day to countdown to the first day of school!

Today was a proud mama day!

My 1st grader was among the students selected to read the story he wrote at Community Meeting (whole school assembly) in front of 500 people.

Thank you to his teacher for instilling confidence in him and developing in him a lifelong love for writing. ❤️
