Do you have a technique for catching snowflakes?

What do you think this boy is thinking in his head?

In the words of Martin Luther King Jr...

" The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convience, but where he stands in times of challenge."

In our fourth grade words we think this quote says,
"The greatest way to tell what a person is like is not how they act when things are simple and comfortable, but how they act when things are hard."

This quote really shows perserverance!

Below you will find photos that we found on Flickr.com that we thought represented this quote.

Below you will find a link to a glog created by Andrew, Kate, Timothy and Janae. This glog showcases some of the information they have learned. http://suhfnek.edu.glogster.com/glog/

Some quotes mean more than what they say

"Darkness can not drive out darkness, only light can do that"

                                                  
What does this quote mean? What does it make you think of? Who do you think said it?
