5th grade continued their inventors unit this morning by learning about Marilyn Hamilton, who pushed for the invention of a sleek and fast wheelchair after a hang glider accident left her unable to walk again. This tied in great with our Kindness 101 word- fortitude. We talked about fortitude and Mrs. Olsen's former student who competed at the Paris Paralympics this weekend in para badminton- earning a silver medal in his mixed doubles match as well as beating the Tokyo 2020 gold medalist in his singles match!
