In our class we are discussing how we can keep working, keep trying, keep practicing in order to reach mastery of standards.  The following clip we viewed with the students and discussed some strategies they can use themselves to have perseverance just like llama. 

This llama does everything he can to reach his goal and doesn’t let the obstacles keep him down! Think about the following questions as you watch the short clip: 

• What challenges does the llama face?
• How did the llama persevere toward his goal?
• What feelings do you think he experienced while chasing the fruit?
• How does it feel when you face challenges when you’re working towards a goal? 
• What kind of things can you say to yourself to help you persevere toward a goal?
