Yesterday we had our January Character Education assembly and spoke about Perseverance. We talked about the many things we do each day and how some are more challenging than others. Children learned about the importance of maintaining a positive attitude and letting determination and perseverance guide them during challenging tasks.
We were fortunate to have 5th grade Stonehedge Jump Rope Team demonstrate what perseverance looks like in action. They performed a routine set to music that highlighted the many tricks they could do with various jump ropes. They even did tricks jumping with pogo sticks and moon jumpers! Mr. Shoults talked about the many hours of practice that went into learning some of these moves. Members of the team worked in pairs or small groups to perform some of the most difficult moves.
Students in grade K-2 were impressed with the performance and many look forward to participating on the Jump Rope Team when they are in 5th grade.
