It's one of my favorites and one I included in our UpCott nominations (Upham's mock Caldecott-- more to come on this). Through beautiful illustrations, the author/illustrator demonstrates how mistakes are just an opportunity! In keeping with that theme, students created a drawing of themselves doing something they love. The catch? They had to draw with PENS! When do second graders get to use ballpoint pens at school (pretty much never!)?! If they made a mistake, they needed to keep going and turn it into something else. Here's a sampling of some of their work:
In our UpCott unit, other grades will participate in this lesson, too.
