"I think I can-I think I can-I think I can-I think I can," these words filled the kindergarten classrooms this week as the book, The Little Engine That Could, was read aloud by the teachers. This book is one of the core works for kindergarten, and gives a strong message about perseverance. After a discussion about the meaning of perseverance, the children were invited to write about something they have worked hard on this year and are proud of accomplishing.
