What is bravery?
This week was an exciting and monumental time for our country with the inauguration of our 44th president, Barack Obama. We are learning a bit about his early life, family and career. More importantly we are discussing qualities a person possesses who chooses to run for the office of President of the United States of America. Some might say, one such qualitiy is bravery. To illustrate the meaning of brave we are working with William Steig’s, Brave Irene and Jane O’Connor’s, Molly the Brave and Me. Both stories demonstrate the bravery, determination, and creative thinking of two girls. In the coming days, we will use the characters to make comparisons to Obama and what we think might be traits that will make him a good leader for our country.
