Being gritty…what does that look like to 4th graders?

January 13, 2015 by Amber 22 Comments

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!

 

 

WWW,

I hope you enjoyed the video today! We had a great conversation about what having grit could LOOK like FOR 4th graders. Please remember to use your screen names below and share with me what you think it means for YOU to be GRITTY, :):

    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 think grit is all about kids with confidence and kids who NEVER give up and keep going no mater what people say or do to them and they wont let bullies put them down.

    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.

    What a fabulous way to encourage reflection and feedback. What app do you use for the students comments?
