The Most Magnificent Thing

In reading today, Mrs. Chrystall read one of her favorite picture books, The Most Magnificent Thing.  This funny book offers a perfect example of the rewards of perseverance and creativity.  It is a great lesson in making mistakes and learning from them!




After the book and our discussion, we watched this inspiring video of a young boys creation!  You just have to love Audri's views on success and failure!  Get ready to smile as you watch his Rube Goldberg machine trials!  What a positive thinker and he learns so much from his failures!  


On Monday, we will begin reading Out of My Mind!  Parents, please refer to the email I sent last week for more details.
