Persistence is the word of the month for March.  It is important to remember that all activities take hard work and determination. Sometimes a task maybe easy but when activities are difficult you must not give up.  Persistence to achieve even through a difficult task will benefit you greatly.  The Little Engine that Could, Dumpy LaRue, The Giving Tree, and The Very Hungry Caterpillar all show characters who never give up.  Here is Eric Carle reading is very own book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Ask your parents about a time in their lives when they showed great persistence.  What did they learn? What was the outcome? What could have happened if they gave up? How did they feel in the beginning and in the end? Now think of something in your life that is hard for you.  Make a commitment to show persistence like one of the characters from the titles above and post it to our blog.
