Zach Makes Mistakes - Hardcover

For Zach, a class field trip to the museum is about more than cool exhibits--it's about learning from mistakes and dealing with feeling embarrassed. First he forgets to wear his field trip shirt, then he forgets the rule about not touching displays. His teacher helps him see that everyone makes mistakes--and how to use them to grow and develop a growth mindset. Using an easy-to-remember tool, the Key to Mistakes, she shows Zach and readers a simple three-step process:

1. Detect (find the reason for the mistake)
2. Correct (fix the mistake if you can)
3. Reflect (think back about your mistake to find what you can learn from it)

A short note is included to help teachers, parents, counselors, and other adults reinforce the book's messages and practice the Key to Mistakes when kids are feeling embarrassed.
