Once, to get over the fear of doing it. Twice, to learn how to do it. And a third time, to figure out whether you like it or not.

Malcolm Forbes https://padlet.com/bweidus/r66b1z7lih00/wish/142868653 I tell my students this every day ("It's ok to make mistakes b/c that's how we learn"). The times in my life that have been the most difficult to get through have also been a huge learning experience & have helped me to grow as a person.]]> 2016-12-09 17:51:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bweidus/r66b1z7lih00/wish/142868653 Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try. Unknown https://padlet.com/bweidus/r66b1z7lih00/wish/142880671 In order to accomplish something great, you have to try first.

Virgil Garnett Thomson https://padlet.com/bweidus/r66b1z7lih00/wish/142915845 A lot of people just give up after the first try because they fail and think they can't do it, don't really have the motivation to try again, or have a fear of making a mistake. I think it's important to try something mulitple times to determine whether you like it or not. ]]> 2016-12-09 21:18:39 UTC https://padlet.com/bweidus/r66b1z7lih00/wish/142915845 https://padlet.com/bweidus/r66b1z7lih00/wish/143114521 Great works are performed, not by strength, but by perseverance. Samuel Johnson
I think it is so important for students to persevere even when it's hard! Sticking to the challenge will lead to much better and more rewarding outcomes - even if the "answer" is not correct. ]]> 2016-12-12 14:02:52 UTC https://padlet.com/bweidus/r66b1z7lih00/wish/143114521 The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make a mistake. Elbert Hubbard https://padlet.com/bweidus/r66b1z7lih00/wish/143114720 I am consistently reminding my students that when we are making mistakes, we are truly learning. There is no reason to fear making a mistake, as long as we learn from it.]]> 2016-12-12 14:03:36 UTC https://padlet.com/bweidus/r66b1z7lih00/wish/143114720 12.

Carol Dweck
The potential for success is in each student. With the right type of opportunities and/or instruction, students can reach higher accomplishments than a test score shows they are currently performing. ]]> 2016-12-12 20:13:19 UTC https://padlet.com/bweidus/r66b1z7lih00/wish/143235231
