We are learning that struggle is not a weakness and that it does not mean we will never get it. We are learning that the more we can persist through a struggle, the stronger we will be! Second graders have been practicing persistence with a tower challenge. They had limited supplies of gum drops and toothpicks to build a tower taller than a plastic cup and strong enough to hold a textbook. Teams worked through the design process: asking questions, imagining the possibilities, planning out a strategy, creating, testing and improving. We discussed how we are using persistence in our coding challenges as they get harder.
