In art class this week our students learned about architecture! They were excited to build and couldn’t wait to get started. As the students began, a few realized that their first attempts didn’t work. A few pieces fell, another piece or two started sliding and other structures toppled over. The comments ranged from “I can’t do this!” to “I’m done” to “Can you do this for me?” What a great opportunity to teach about grit and perseverance!
