EFFECTIVE EFFORT!
We had a tremendous discussion in class this past week about effort. Students impressed me beyond words! We learned that we can actually grow our brains! We can use our brains just like a muscle! Their thoughtfulness and insightfulness on what it means to keep on going, defining perseverance without even realizing it, was fantastic! Through our discussions, we defined hard work as: time (taking your time, using your time wisely, and using enough time), perseverance and practice. Students brainstormed lots and lots of examples of different learning strategies whether it be rereading, following directions, graphic organizers, studying a football route, asking for help, etc. Everyone learns in a different way at a different pace, and that is okay!
