Monday Motivation
No Grit - No Pearl
A rare and beautiful pearl is formed from a small piece of grit. These beautiful gems are the result of hurt. A pearl begins to form with an irritation. A small piece of sand, shell or grit becomes lodged in the tender flesh of an oyster. In response, the oyster builds up layers of calcium carbonate around it which gradually becomes a pearl. A small pearl takes around 2 to 3 years to grow, a large one, closer to 10.A painful or difficult experience tends to bring growth- compassion, empathy, understanding, mental toughness and even tenacity. These are powerful pearls to value. If you are going through difficult times, your pearl is forming. Remember nothing good ever comes from being easy. Hold strong “like a boss.”
SOMETHING TO HELP US GROW
7 Mindsets
Attitude of Gratitude
Nov. 26-30 - Attitude of Gratitude lesson 5.4 - Elevate Your Perspective
• Create Belonging and Significance – Make every student feel like a key contributor and academic force in your classroom. Feeling a sense of belonging and significance are critical needs for most of us throughout our lives. Understand this and continue to find ways to connect your classroom and make every student feel they are key contributors to the educational process. Pay close attention to the ones who are not participating and find ways to get everyone involved constructively in their own education.
