Does anyone do Mental Health or Mindfulness Monday? I just thought of it and want to implement for next year and include some growth mindset lessons. Any other ideas would be great!

I'm a new teacher, and I got my first note from a student. To say that it's made my week would be an understatement. Just remember that when the going gets tough you're shaping lives.
