Thomas Edison


We're reading a book on Thomas Edison at school, my reading students and I, and it just amazes me how many things he invented. 1093 different patents. Movies, cars, tvs, aspirin, light bulbs...so many things he had a hand in. I guess I appreciate how brilliant he was much more than I did when I was a kid in school. I learn a lot when I'm teaching little kids.

Also I really think there were
light bulbs that looked like these
in our old house on Sherman Avenue.
