Don't Give Up

Our Monday morning routine in Grade always involves sharing highlights of our weekends, and then discussing a selected "Quote of the Week".  Today was a little different because rather than discussing someone else's quote, we wrote our own.  To inspire our quotes, we watched a clip from the movie "Facing the Giants".  The clip is above, and here is a blog posting, "Don't Quit" on the clip that I think is worth reading- a little inspiration for the start of your week!  The blog author is my older brother, Steve McMillan.


Here are three sample quotes that students wrote after viewing the clip:

“Always put forth your best effort until you have nothing left.  Never give up.”  

                                                           -Sarah

“When things get hard, you get stronger to learn.”

                - Emily 

“You never know what you can do until you push yourself beyond your limits.”

                                                           -Kyle
