"Good morning, everyone! Today, we are going to talk about two very important concepts: self-love and growth mindset. Can anyone tell me what you think self-love means? Take a moment to think about it."
[Pause and allow students to share their thoughts.]
"Those are great insights! Now, how about growth mindset? What does that mean to you?"
[Allow more responses.]
"Fantastic! Self-love is all about appreciating yourself for who you are, and a growth mindset is believing that you can develop your abilities through hard work and perseverance. Let's see how these concepts come together today!"
"Now, I want us to have a quick discussion about why it’s essential to acknowledge our personal successes. Why do you think recognizing our achievements is important?"
[Facilitate discussion, guiding students to think about the positive effects of acknowledgment on self-esteem and motivation.]
"Great points! Acknowledging our successes, no matter how small, can make a big difference in how we perceive ourselves. Sometimes, we can be our own biggest critics instead of our biggest supporters. Let's change that—by embracing positive affirmations!"
"Now, it’s time for an activity! I’m going to hand out these printable cards to each of you. On one side, I want you to write down a few things that you love about yourself. On the other side, please list at least three personal successes you've achieved. Remember, it can be anything, from learning to ride a bike, finishing a book, or helping a friend."
[Distribute printable cards and give students about 10 minutes to complete them.]
"Take your time and really think about what you want to write. This is for you, so be proud of your accomplishments!"
"Okay, time's up! Now, I’d like to collect the cards. If you’re comfortable, I’d love to hear some of your thoughts. Would anyone like to share what they wrote on their card? You can choose to share just one thing from either side."
[Encourage a few students to share. Create a supportive atmosphere where students feel safe to share. Reinforce positive feelings around shared successes.]
"Thank you all for sharing! Remember, what you see as a success may not seem big to someone else, but that's okay! Each person’s journey is unique."
"For homework, I’d like you to reflect further on what we talked about today. I want you to write a short paragraph about how you can practice self-love in your day-to-day life. Try to include examples of how you’ll acknowledge both your achievements and those of your peers."
"Don’t worry, you won’t have to present this, but I’ll be checking to see how well you understood the concepts we discussed today."
"As we wrap up our lesson, let's take a moment to summarize what we've learned. Self-love is about appreciating who you are, and a growth mindset is about believing in your ability to grow and improve. Remember, it’s important to recognize and celebrate your successes and encourage those of your peers."
"Keep practicing self-love and acknowledgment, not just today, but every day. You all have what it takes to succeed, and I believe in each of you. Have a great rest of the day!"
