Happy Pink Shirt Day!
What a busy day... I forgot to get a picture of all the kids in their pink shirts. Darn!
I was very proud of the students today. I announced this morning that we were going to do a reading of a script to match a Power Point presentation of a book: The Seeds of Compassion. We had two hours before the 11:00 presentation time to get it all together. Students, once they were signed up for their paragraphs, practiced reading their lines. Then we had a time run-through, and a final go again before 11:00. They also had time for a quick run around in the gym and a special snack prepared by Carol, our wonderful cook. Students read well and all went smoothly!
After the presentation, we also had time to look at a couple of Pink Shirt Day videos / news clips and created an Acrostic poem together as a class. Our word was: BE KIND.
