  2. Dr.Simpson's lesson was about mindsets. I learned that part of your happiness comes from your DNA and the other part comes from mindsets. Your DNA comes from your parents. One personal connection I had is when I got my puppy I was only happy for a short period of time.

  4. Today Dr.Simpson talked about what makes you happy. Half of it is DNA. 10% of the other half is what makes you happy but does not keep you happy. The other 40% is what keeps you happy including sleep, friendship, helping someone else, exercise, etc. She also talked about mindsets. She gathered us into groups and gave each group a card about a problem. She had each group come up to the front of the class and read the problems. Then she asked us about which mindset(s) the character in the problem needed.

  5. Today Dr. Simpson came to our class and her main focus was about happiness. Did you know that half of your happiness comes from your DNA? It does! The other half comes from mindsets. We split into groups and the activity was for each group to have a card that said a little story and at the end we figured out what the mindset was. The people in my group were Katherine and Kayla. We figured out that the mindset was persistence. I really enjoyed Dr. Simpson's lesson!

  6. Today in Dr. Simpson's lesson, we talked about mindsets and happiness. Dr. Simpson said that 1/2 of our happiness comes from our DNA. She also said that we feel happy when we do something were good at, because it makes us feel that we accomplished something, and you did. She also talked about that for example she asked Nancy Claire if any of her parents had hair like hers, Nancy Claire answered no. So, Dr. Simpson said someone in her family had red hair like hers. Dr. Simpson also talked about our 5 mindsets at Kinkaid, that if we use these mindsets life will be easier. Later on Dr. Simpson handed out small little stories. My team's story was about at kid named Terry, who didn't like to lose so he would cheat in games, and he didn't take risks. So we said that he should have optimism, because he didn't take risks, he might have done better if in games he took risks, and said, I'm going to try!" We also said that he should be flexible, and have persistence, to say "ok I lost, I'm going to keep on trying, I'll be flexible even though I didn't win."

  7. Dr.Simson talked about mindsets and happiness. She said that 50% of happiness comes from your DNA. 10% comes from thing that you get like a new puppy or something like that. And the rest of it comes from mindsets. Then she told us to get into groups of 2, 3, 4, or 5. The she gave every group a card with a story on it and a question that you pick mindsets that the person in the story needs to do to fix the problem. The we shared are answers.

  8. Hi! Today Dr. Simson's lesson was about mindsets. The mindsets are empathy, optimism, resilience and persistance. Dr Simson's main lesson was about happiness. I learned that 50% of our happiness comes DNA. 40% of it is from daily fun and the other 10% I cant remember, but it has something to do with your nerves. I feel that a lot of my happiness comes from playing with my dogs and playing sports. Those are my favorite hobbies. For our sheet "what mindset should he be using", he was trying to put on a robotic arm and failed. He gave up. He should have been optimistic and resilient, so he can get through the difficult task. I hope you liked Dr Simsons lesson! bye!!

  11. I loved Dr. Simpson's lesson! First we told her the mindsets and why they are important. Then we talked about where happiness is from. Half of it is from you DNA. Ten percent of it is from words that you hear. Also forty percent of it is from things you are good at or enjoy doing. Then she said to buddy up in groups. Each group got a diffrent card. Our card was about a kid named Terry. He is not confident, doesn't like to loose and when he looses he tries to change the rules or cheat. Then we had to see what mindsets our card needed or had. We thought Terry needed all of them. I learned to be a good team player. Then Dr. Simpson was going to show a video about a pig trying to get cookies. The pig had to be very persistent. But since we had watched it last time she came, we just rolled in to Because of Winn-Dixie. I hope Dr. Simpson comes back real soon!!!

  12. Her main focus was happiness. I learned that 50% of your DNA is what comes from your mom and dad and 40% is all your own. Things you can change. The other 10% I forgot. When you get a new bike or stuff that you like your happiness goes up. But as the things that you got get old your happiness goes down. It does not always stay at the top.

  13. Doctor simpson taught us about being happy. She said that half of happiness comes from your dna 10% comes from things that only last for a little while and the other 40% comes from friendship,sleep and exercise. Then we got a mindset prblom on a piece of paper and in our group of three we figured out the problem. I love it when Doctor Simpson comes!

  14. Dr. Simpson talked about happiness. I learned that 50% of our happiness is from our DNA and 40% was your own things you do. She said that if you get a new puppy or a new bike your happiness would go up but after a little while it would not be as exciting. She said that sometimes you did not want to do stuff because it looked a little scary but if your parents say it will be fun then it probablay will. She said that if someone said a mean comment to you it would feel bad. She said it is always good to be a good team player. She said if you said something bad and your friend just said I wont be your friend anymore then they are not a good friend. It was fun watching winn dixie at the end. I hope Dr.Simson will come back soon. I really enjoyed it.

  15. Dr. Simpson said your parents number one goal is to teach us how to be happy. She said 50% of our happiness comes from our DNA. After she was finished, she gave us cards. Every card said something different. The card had a few sentences each group read the card. Then after you were done reading the card... You would think of the mindset the person needs. Then you came up and read the card then said which mindset you need to use.

    She gave us different cards and our group card said "Terry is not confident. He dose not like to lose. When he is losing he changes the rules or cheats" my group said he has to be all of the stances to be a better person we were going to watch a pig trying to get cookies but we already saw it so we rolled right into Because of Win-Dixie.

  19. I really enjoyed Dr. Simpson's lesson. I thought that it was really nice. She told us about what makes us happy. She said that half of being happy comes from our DNA. Dr. Simpson gave us some cards that had stories that were all different. We thought of what mindset the person in the story could use.
