The Half-Full Glass of Water Mr Spud Getty

At times we feel like a half-full glass of water. We regularly deal with the perception of others. Often we are seen as lacking a trait or qualification that questions our capabilities. Yet this does not define who we are and what we can accomplish. This half-full glass of water knows it can do something special but has to push through doubt and the opinions of others by doing its best, never giving up, and believing that WHAT IT CAN DO matters. After the story is an education section that uses the content of the story. The child can look at a list of vocabulary words, math involving fractions (yikes!), words that rhyme to write a verse. The child will understand the concept of a half-full glass versus a half-empty glass, how to say "ask," when to use lie or lay, and learn a fun phrase in another language. This section is presented in such a way to engage your child in the thought process. A child should not feel threatened by what they do not know, but be encouraged to process new ideas and to reach a higher level of understanding. We do not know what the mind of any child can achieve until that mind explores the expanse of possibilities to unlock its potential.
