Much Better
An educational song about learning from mistakes, resilience, and growth mindset, teaching children that failure is a stepping stone to success and improvement.
I built a great big tower, that rose up to my nose. I bumped it with my elbow, and it fell upon my toes. I was so sad and upset, that I almost nearly cried. I could've walked much slower or made it strong and wide. But I now know much better as I saw what was to be. The next time will be much better, I'll do it differently.
I tried to bake some cookies, for my friends to share at school. But left them in too long and they turned hard and cruel. My heart felt disappointed, when I saw them burnt and black. I should've set a timer, and checked them front and back. But I now know much better as I saw what was to be. The next time will be much better, I'll do it differently.
I poured myself some orange juice, at the kitchen table bright. But filled the cup too quickly, and it splashed left and right. The juice went on my homework, and my favorite shirt got wet. I should've poured more carefully, the best technique I'd get. But I now know much better as I saw what was to be. The next time will be much better, I'll do it differently.
