Today we read a mentor text titled "No Excuses" by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer. It was about a little boy who aspired to become a marine biologist but was faced with many people giving him excuses as to why he shouldn't be one. He had a choice to use or not use those excuses. Ask your child what he did...
SECRET QUESTION: Which sentence is NOT AN EXCUSE? Write the number in your agenda.
1. My mom says she wasn't very good in math when she was in school, so I am also not good in math.
2. I don't think I'll do very well on this question, so I am going to leave it blank and not even try.
3. I am nervous to try out for the track and field team, but I'm going to anyways
