Papa's Mechanical Fish by Candice Fleming and Beautiful Oops by Barney Saltzburg

In the last week in my class, we talked a lot about mindset and how every day we wake up and choose the mindset that we bring to school. We read two great books that focus on "taking care of selves" and how to look at "mistakes as opportunities!" Beautiful Oops by Barney Saltzberg is a light and cheery book that teaches kids that mistakes are okay! We can learn from our mistakes and they are opportunities to make something beautiful! We also read Papa's Mechanical Fish by Candice Fleming. Each time Papa's invention failed he looked it as an opportunity to improve his design. Never once did he complain or give up! The illustrations are fabulous! Sploosh! Swoosh! Clacketa-clacketa-clacketa! What mindset will you bring to the world today?!
