I shared this with my class today and we plan to memorize it in the next couple of weeks. Not only are they benefitting from the fluency exercise and word structure, but they see a rousing example of not giving up. Many of mine will give up long before ether try. I long to see them "buckle right in with a trace of a grin." I am also happy to have the reminder hanging on my wall for those days that I'm ready to throw my hands in air and listen to the prophesy of failure these kids have stamped on their lives.
