"We can persevere!"

Today students were learning to persevere.  We tried to throw pom-poms into a bin. We started off with the bin very close and moved it farther away after each time we made it.  Sometimes we made it in the bin and some times we did not.  We learned that it is OK if we miss.  We try again!  As Pete the Cat says, "Do we cry? Goodness, No! We keep on going!"  It is ok to feel sad, frustrated, disappointed, and mad, but we need to pick up the pom-pom and give another throw. 

We will be talking about this concept a lot this year.  We also refer to this as "Growth Mindset."  We are learners who are growing every day!
