¿Cómo afrontar la pereza? ¡Fortaleza mental y resiliencia!

How does Sloth become so resilient?  What does resilience mean?
Why would a 10/10/10 rule help me become mentally tough?

We'll answer these questions together during our reading of "The Resilient Sloth," a wonderful new book by Charlotte Dane! In addition to discussing the book and engaging in reading comprehension activities, students will be guided to reflect on times when they've had to build their own resilience.  Teacher's friend Mr. Sloth will also make an appearance (a very cute stuffed toy that will interact with us to keep everyone entertained.)

Warm-up and Pre-Read
Students will introduce themselves and discuss what they think mental toughness and resilience means.
