This post is written for my 4th grade students that I meet with each week. We talk math, we talk leadership, and this week, we talked GRIT!

I think grit is when you have self motivation in your everyday learning and when you don’t let anything stop you from learning. Its also when you believe you can do something hard and when you never, ever, give up. If you do then you have a closed mind set and are an anti-grit. But if you do have grit its when you have an open or growing mind set and as i said earlier don’t give up even if it gets hard.

I have grit when I do math and when I do math test because they are so hard but when I get stuck on a hard question on the math test I always take a deep breath and just try my best and never give up

I have grit in art because if I don’t understand it I’ll keep trying in-till I get it right and never give up.

I feel that grit is determination and the urge to not give up . When I SEE A TEST THAT IS HARD I USUALLY GET A GOOD FEELING THAT I GET WHEN I WORK HARD.

I have to have grit when I get in the water. Its impossible to be so endurant with someones kicking you in the face.

being gritty to me is that you try your best and never give up on something that is hard for you to do
