Columbus Makes an Impression

I got an email from one of my student's parents this past week and the mom was telling me that her child was trying to do "something" that mom had to say "NO" to.  Not sure what it was but she kept telling him "NO", he could not do "that".  His response to her was, "Mom, you're breaking my dreams!  I wanted to do something like Christopher Columbus.  He discovered that the world was round."  Love it!!  Thank you little SMARTboard lesson!  And a little note to my student:  Keep trying,!!  I'll be watching in years to come for you to do something great.  I truly believe that you have what it takes to make a difference in our world and in history.
