At Henry Ford we studied the book The Inventor’s Secret and learned about Thomas Edison and Henry Ford. They were both great inventors, and their secret to success was Keep At It! Never give up, if you have an idea or dream, just keep working at it. We then made illustrations of some inventions that would be great to create. There were many awesome ideas!
It’s always important to be kind. At Henry Ford Elementary we’re discussing how we can be kind, and we even have a kindness pledge that we say!
Below are some of the books that we studied to learn ways to be kind and not hurtful to others. Try our best every day!
The Stout Book Club meets at lunch, every Friday, for several weeks. We’re reading the book When and the Harry Potter series. The students are doing a great job reading the books and discussing their favorite characters and highlights of the plots. We’re discussing a summary project to review the books. Stay tuned!
