Perserverance

We have been reading books in which characters show the trait of "perseverance."  After reading and discussing several books, the children explained what perseverance is, why it is important and how you persevere.  Their words are captured on the picture of the poster below.  One child exclaimed during our discussion, "nothing would get done without perseverance!"  We brainstormed ways that we could do "positive self talk" to encourage ourselves to persevere.  Their talking bubbles are shown  in the 2nd photo.
