Promote a culture of growth mindset all while practicing printing and/or cursive penmanship. In these two no-prep, print-and-go growth mindset handwriting activities, students first trace, then copy a growth mindset sentence, and respond to a related writing prompt. This printable handwriting bundle allows you to sneak in a little extra character development, SEL, AND extra writing practice. It’s the perfect way to start off the new school year, start off the school day, or simply use all year long as bell work, homework, or in your centers rotation.

How It Works . . .

Students trace and practice one of 30 different growth mindset statements, then respond to a related writing prompt. The cursive and printing pages are based on the same 30 statements and are presented in the same order, allowing you to differentiate for student needs while still giving the class the same writing prompt to respond to and discuss.

If you print out copies and place them in sheet protectors in your students' binders, kids can use their whiteboard markers and practice the same affirmation each day for the whole week, which save on copies and ink.
