Fourth graders in Lauren Abrams’ class at Central Boulevard Elementary School celebrated Thoughtful Thursday on October 20, 2022 with an activity based on the book “The Most Magnificent Thing” by Ashley Spires. One Thursday each month, Central Boulevard students do something special, whether it be an activity or an event, to acknowledge Thoughtful Thursday.
After reading “The Most Magnificent Thing”, Ms. Abrams’ students discussed the book which focuses on a girl who tries to create the most magnificent thing but tries and fails. Out of anger, she quits but later returns to get it just right. The book showcases creativity and perseverance and showed the students the importance of growth mindset.
Inspired by the story, each student made a list of some magnificent things that they could create. They let their imaginations run wild and picked one of their amazing ideas to draw and color. From a robot that does homework, to a speaker that translates penguin language, the fourth graders did a great job bringing their magnificent thing to life on paper.
