Near Thomas Edison's birthday (February 11th), the Budding Class had a discussion on Thomas Edison's amazing perseverance when it came to inventing the light bulb. We then talked about what the world would be like if the light bulb had never been invented! The students filled out a reflection sheet and turned it into a short essay. For some of the students, this was the longest piece they had ever written. I especially liked Colton's (2nd grade), and thought you would like to hear his perspective on what makes the light bulb so important!
Dark Places, by Colton (2nd grade)
Thomas Edison's invention of the light bulb was courageous. The light bulb is life-changing because it was an amazing creation! Thomas Edison did not give up at all. He kept trying. Without the light bulb, we may end up in the hospital because you may trip. When you go camping, you may step on a venomous snake. The teachers at school would wonder where their students went as they snuck away in the dark! I think the light bulb is amazing because it changed life for mankind!
