"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." - Wayne Dyer
A Positive Mindset will always overcome a Fixed Mindset
-The teacher develops a student growth goal for a group of students within a class who still need to reach their full learning potential.

Judy Croon - The Superpower of Humor-
Humor is a gift. Stress is a major cause of most illnesses, and humor is an amazing way to relieve it. Studies have shown that when we are stressed, our brain shrinks. However, when we laugh, we relax, and when we relax, we learn. Humor helps to fight stress and keep a positive attitude -especially in the face of change. Humor helps us lead healthier, happier, and perhaps even longer lives.

A Little Humor:

-"I don't trust stairs. They're always up to something."
-"What do you call someone with no body and no nose? Nobody knows."
-"Did you hear the rumor about butter? Well, I'm not going to spread it!"
