What would be persistence,determination and resilience all in one word? Grit of course! Grit is about not giving up straight away when you don’t get it right, you need to persist when learning gets tough. To not get distracted and to stay focused! If you don’t persist you don’t get things done which means you won’t learn! Dedication pays off! Remember that.
In class one of the times I have used grit is…
In maths when I was learning how to add hundreths with tenths in decimals, because I didn’t know and there was no learning video so I tried to but got it wrong then I asked mr A because I didn’t understand. After that he had a workshop on rounding to help me and I understood that really well.
One of the times I have used grit in my life is….
In a netball game, when the opposition team had the ball and were passing to another player. Half way through the long pass I thought I wouldn’t of been able to intercept but I persisted by jumping as high as I could,and not being in the middle to be by the player who is being passed too. and in the end I got the intercept which caused us to get a goal!
This is a wonderful attribute Shanelle and I am so pleased you are reflecting on how you use it.
