Many educators indicate learned helplessness from the pandemic and students who quickly give up. We decided to put together a list of books that teach perseverance. Our first title is one we bought for our Kindergarten Mystery Reading Class, and the main message was "FAIL," which stands for First Attempt In Learning- which we think would be a great bulletin board. The following are links to some books you might peruse for your school library. We use associate links, so the links are permanent. Otherwise, they change, and people cannot find the object.
