Perseverence Wednesday

Today Mrs. McBride came in and we had a fabulous lesson on perseverence. We have been talking about this word a lot lately and I think it is one of the most important words we will focus on this year. We talked about  Samantha Garvey and how she has had great success, despite a situation that is not easy to live with. Think about how you approach challenges. Do you do everything you can do to overcome them? Are you driven to succeed no matter how difficult something is? These are important questions to ask yourself and reflect upon. You don’t want to live with regrets. Try your best at all times, not matter how difficult something is. I posted the video below just in case you want to share it with someone at home.

HW is…
1) Look at Storybird and click “Art” at the bottom of the page. Look for artwork you would like to use for a story.

2) Reflection Journal (Due Friday)
