Students will learn what effort means, why it matters, and practice showing effort through songs, games, and a craft. By the end, they can identify effort in actions and demonstrate it in tasks.
Introducing effort helps Pre-K students develop a growth mindset, build perseverance, and understand that trying their best leads to success and confidence. Early practice lays the foundation for positive learning habits.
