August 26th-30th
Perseverance is an important lesson for young students to learn. Sometimes they may find it easier to give up instead of continuing to try. Our focus this week was all about persevering through challenges that are presented to us. One of those challenges was our first STEM day on Wednesday. We read and discussed After the Fall by Dan Santat. Throughout the week we discussed why it is important to persevere and never give up. We will discuss times that we may have wanted to give up but we persevered instead. Vocabulary from our book: Odd: strange Famous: known by many people Accident: an unplanned event that causes damage Bandages: coverings that protect the hurt part of the body Terrified: very scared Activities you can do at home with your child this weekend: Practice perseverance by making paper airplanes. If it doesn't fly, try again! Have your child share something they feel is hard (like riding a bike). Help them persevere until they are able to do it!
