#ICANyet wristbands, originally intended to be swag for participants at a recent presentation, have caused quite a stir.
Quite an awesome stir indeed.
Students in Mr. Montanaro's class were given wristbands, with a responsibility: One they could keep and enjoy, a second MUST be given away and accompanied by a brief #ICANyet lesson. Basically, they were to spread the news about The Power of YET on goal-setting and Growth Mindset with their peers. What happened next blew me away!
The more wristbands I spotted around the school, the more amazing anecdotes I heard about how to use YET-- all in child-friendly, truly authentic ways.
In some cases, the anecdotes included trying to cartwheel for the first time while others took on more curriculum based forms like how to use integers or add fractions. Regardless, the buzz was #ICANyet and it was awesome to hear and see.
At Frassati, #WECANyet!!! Can you?
