A day in the life of a penny, Projects and an Assembly

Thanks T for the Timbits... and Happy Birthday

We began the day with a theme write.  They were to imagine themselves spending a day as a penny.  Writing in the first person is a way to see things from the view of the character.   It is a fun way to write and helps the students practice putting themselves into the story.
The students then went through their Socials and Language arts books with small yellow sticky notes to pick their favorite 10 Socials and 10 favorite Writing assignments as report cards go home tomorrow.

After recess the students had a work period to finish off their self choice projects.  Many are working in pairs and many are working by themselves.

After lunch the students read or worked on finishing off any final work from their Socials and Writing books before heading off the the assembly.

At the assembly the choir presented the two songs they sang at the Concert at UVic the night before.  It was excellent and a tribute to the Students talent, dedication and enthusiasm as well as the skill and work of Mrs. Awalt and Mrs. Carlton.  Five of our students received awards.  J for Math.  S for Coloring and Art.  S, M and E were all given awards for Creative Story Writing.

Great Job everyone... see you tomorrow.
