Winter Olympics

Image result for olympics and perseverance

As we talk about perseverance and growth mindset, preparing our students for assessments and life, the Olympics provide many examples of athletes overcoming, working hard, and having success as a result.

As we move from Super Bowl to Winter Olympics, here are some links to provide background information for students.  The links include information about South Korea and local atheltes, as well as grit and determination.

This week's Hawk Talk Live will include a little bit about the Olympics, but I wanted to share some additional resources with you for additional classroom use if you choose.  

Have a great week -
