My Day Is Ruined (Flexible Thinking)

I have several books by Bryan Smith and recently ordered two more!  The first one is:  My Day is Ruined! A Story for Teaching Flexible Thinking.  This book is great for students who are rigid in their thinking.  The main character, Braden, is excited for his upcoming Championship baseball game and has to learn how to deal with the game being cancelled due to pouring rain.  The story lists four steps to Flexible Thinking and shows how Braden uses the four steps to be more flexible in his thinking.  This book was perfect for one of my fifth grade students as one of the examples in the story shows Braden getting upset about having to show his work on a math problem.  Other examples in the story include a change in the schedule and a change in the lunch menu.

  1. I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again. If you are going through any relationship stress or you want back your Ex or Divorce husband you can contact his whatsapp +2347012841542 or email emutemple@gmail.com
