Philippe Petit

We started talking about our Hopes & Dreams for first grade by reading a book about Philipe Petit called The Man Who Walked Between The Towers.    
You can reread the book here:


Room 408 was surprised to find out that this was a true story!
Here is the newscast from that morning back in 1974.



Here is a more recent video in which we hear more of the story behind Philippe Petit.



Philipe had a dream to walk on a high wire between the Twin Tower buildings, and he didn't stop until he had accomplished his dream.  

We had our Hopes & Dreams conferences last week.  Parents, teachers, and students loved being able to share our Hopes & Dreams with each other.

Do you have any Hopes & Dreams?
