Today was a very busy day. Students have worked hard this week preparing a piece of writing to share with their classmates. I mixed tables up some today so that students could share with a different group than they did with our first share. Each child had the chance to read the story they wrote and revised. They also had a snack to eat as they listened. I would like to thank Sara Hughes for sending in our extra snack. The students really enjoyed it as well as listening to their friends stories. Some students came dressed as a favorite character in a book that they have read. As one student said, "We are all dressed as a character because we all wrote about ourselves in our books." So in actuality, we were all dressed as characters:) Photos from our event will be posted soon to this blog. Next week we will start our new unit of writing informational books.
Today we also had a special guest visit the school. We had the opportunity to go down to the cafeteria and listen to Dav Pilkey, author of the "Captain Underpants" books. He spoke about his difficulties in school growing up and this lead to what he does today. Each student also received a special cape and wore it during the assembly to show their support for what Dav does. The class was really excited to see him! Photos from this event will be uploaded soon as well:)
I hope everyone is able to enjoy our long weekend!
