This is Jacob's last week at FHS and today is the last Tuesday of his
high school career. While working on his graduation book,
we asked him to pick a few of his favorite quotes,
those words of wisdom that motivate and guide him.
These are our 18-year-old son's picks:
How would you use these in your classrooms? I think they'd make such interesting discussions for your morning meetings or sensitivity circles.
Or thought-provoking writing prompts.
What do you think that the author of this quote means?
Give an example of this from a story you've read.
How might these words apply to your own life?
Look out world; here he comes.

I have a feeling he'll do just fine!
As always, I love your posts, Barbara. What a special guy to have chosen those quotes!!! I often remind myself, when I'm doing something I don't care to do of the excellence being a habit...at times it's been my mantra.

Thank you, Shawna! That makes my day coming from someone I admire so much.
DeleteThese are some of my absolute favourite quotes and I have quite a few posted in my classroom. Every day, one of our grade 7 or 8 students reads an inspirational quote over the morning announcements. Such a great start to our day.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Jacob! I have absolutely no doubt you will do far more than just fine. ;)

DeleteCongratulations to Jacob! These quotes are amazing. I love starting our weekly meetings with a book or a quote and these quotes are perfect for teaching so many things. Thank you for sharing them!
ReplyDeleteI love it when you stop by; I can just hear the fun in your voice! I'd actually had not even heard all of these before so it was cool for me as a mom to see what Jacob selected.
Delete"Raise up a child in the way he shall go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."---Good job to you and your husband! You have laid the foundation and I can see he will build on it! Congrats to Jacob!
ReplyDeleteJacob is on his way...and what a great legacy of his mother and father!! Looking forward to hearing all about Jacob's future endeavors!
