 FOUNDATION NEWS
THE VOYAGE  
Our unit on The Voyage is going by quickly and it is exciting to see your children grow in perseverance . As our Anchor says, "Perseverance is never giving up even when the task is hard." This week's focus is all about trying things a new way, something we have to do when we are not at first succeeding!

Our Action Point is, "Perseverance means sometimes you need to change how you do something." Often children give up when things get hard, but if they learn to try things in a new way it will help them see that it is worth it to persevere . If you notice your children getting frustrated at home, encourage them to think of a new way to do things. We are doing the same at school, and partnership is so important on The Voyage!
