classrooms . * GRIT * FRIENDLY * BRAVE * MINDFUL * GRIT . Grit is passion and perseverance for long-term and meaningful goals . It is the ability to persist in something you feel passionate about and persevere when you face obstacles . “ Give it your all . Redo if necessary . Ignore giving up . Take time to do it right .” * FRIENDLY . Friendly describes people who are kind , caring and make others feel comfortable . When you are friendly , you treat everyone like a friend – with warmth and respect . What can you today to be friendly ? Let ’ s see how many ways you can come up with to be friendly to your classmates , your teachers and the Eli Whitney staff today ! * BRAVE . Being brave means facing your fears . Brave people do the right thing , even when it isn ’ t easy . Brave people may feel afraid sometimes , but they do what needs to be done . There are many ways for us to be brave – how can you be brave today ? “ The thing about being brave is that it doesn ’ t come with the absence of fear . Bravery is the ability to look fear in the face and say – move aside , you are in my way !” * MINDFUL . Being mindful is paying close attention to something or someone . It means slowing down to really notice what you are doing . Being mindful is the opposite of rushing . When you are mindful , you take your time . You are focused and relaxed . Try to be mindful today . Pay attention to those around you . Be focused on all of the tasks you are working on throughout the day . Do you notice anything different about how you feel when you slow down ? Next week we will begin incorporating grade level vocabulary from both reading and math . Ask your children about the Word of the Day throughout the week and join our cooperative efforts to enhance the vocabulary of our wonderful students !
