It Couldn't Be Done

Edgar Albert Guest

Somebody said that it couldn’t be done

But he with a chuckle replied

That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one

     Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.

So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin

    On his face. If he worried he hid it.

He started to sing as he tackled the thing

      That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Writing: Write a thank you note to a teacher who has touched your life. Examples include a piano or music teacher, a primary teacher, or other adult (not in your family) who has touched your life. Include details about why you appreciate the person. Mail, or, if possible, hand deliver the note to the person. 

History: In reading Listening for Lions, we have encountered (and will continue to encounter) several animal species and topic specific to the time and location of this story. Pick a topic from this list to learn more about and share with the class. If you'd like to do more than one, please do! (Maybe pick one at a time? When you have learned what you want about it, go back and choose another. If you are having a hard time finding information on the one you selected, you can trade for another one that hasn't yet been spoken for.) Have fun! Include any information or visual aids that you find interesting.
