When we choose to have a positive attitude, we choose to think positive thoughts, feel positive feelings and say positive words even when we are facing challenges. We are choosing to be “good finders.” Someone who is a good finder and who has a positive attitude might have trouble mastering a skill in our class but instead of saying “I stink at this and I’ll never get it right” s/he might say “I’m better than I was” or “I’ll just keep trying.” What do you think a person like that might think to him or herself while working on a tough skill (i.e. I can do it!)? How might someone like that feel inside when working on a tough skill (i.e. hopeful, good about sticking with it)? How might someone with a positive attitude act when learning a new skill (i.e. doesn’t give up)? Positive attitude makes a big difference! How has positive attitude made a difference in your life?

If you have time: What kind of attitude did you have today (1) At home (2) At school (3) Here in class?
