This week was awesome because I was finally able to meet with my students and get down to business. It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces this week and to meet some students new to the program as well! Our motto this year is, "If you've never failed, you've never tried anything new!" We watched a video about some famous people who were once considered "failures" but did not give up on their dreams, and the students came up with some terrific messages like:
- If you don't make mistakes, you won't learn from them.
- No one is perfect.
- It's okay to get mad, but it's not okay to give up.
- If you fail 1,000 times, try 1,001.

The homework for this week is to research an invention that happened by accident or after many failures. Choose one invention to write about and explain in your own words in your notebook.
