Learning to juggle will reinforce fall lessons about growth mindset, enhance students' gross motor skills, and add a fun option for brain breaks. Having a growth mindset is so important in school because the knowledge that our brains are built to learn can get us past the moments of frustration when we feel like we will never be able to do something. Practicing this skill in a non-academic area will help my students transfer it to the academic areas that they are struggling in.
As a circus student, I am excited to bring one of my passions into my students. In addition to practicing growth mindset, students will have another opportunity to see that people can be more than one thing. In this case, their teacher can also be in the circus!
