This week, for our read alouds, we read picture book biographies about some pretty amazing people. Each of the people we read about accomplished something great, something noteworthy. But each and everyone of them had to overcome sort of obstacle, some sort of hurdle that was in their way. Each of them persevered when the world told them they couldn't, and when things got really difficult. As a class, we discussed that the lessons we can learn from these people is how important it is to try hard and to persevere. My hope is that throughout the year, when a task seems difficult, that they can each think of one of these role models and remember the struggles they went through and the remarkable things they were able to accomplish.
Unfamiliar with some of these people? Ask your child to tell you more about them!
