Let us Teach You About Grit!

Welcome to Catholic Education Week! This week we have many exciting events planned. To kick off the day, we celebrated by hosting a Literacy Day. Every class in the school read the story The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spiers. The story is an inspiring tale of a young girl who perseveres to overcome a big problem. Along the way we watch as she struggles. Her best friend inspires her to have a growth mindset.

We used this story in our class to talk about what we can say to ourselves to show what grit truly means. We made a list and came up with positive things we can say or think instead of being negative. The students shared this video today during a school wide assembly. They are truly demonstrating that they have a growth mindset. Below is a video we made using the app YouTube Capture. We hope this video inspires you to show GRIT...and offer you some real strategies to persevere!
