I am one proud teacher this afternoon.  What a wonderful job my class did with their reading of Psalm 23, and singing, 'There is a Redeemer'!  They worked so well as a team, and along with everyone else in the school's efforts, pulled off a wonderful Grandparent's Day assembly.

Of course, there were other things that took place today.  We started with Handwriting.  The 3's learned upper-case B and R today, and the 4's worked on their upper-case U's.  For Grammar we talked about adverbs today, and the proper use of 'good' and 'well'.

After library and recess the class had Music, and then joined my middle-school French class to watch some plays that they have been working on.  Most were familiar stories ('Cinderella' and 'The Little Red Hen'), so they were easy to follow.

Then we had Math, and trudged our way through more work on fractions.  The 4's had a challenging assignment, and some have it for homework.  If this causes any stress at home, please just leave it and I'll help them further in class tomorrow.

The afternoon was full of fun with our families!  Grandparents, aunties, uncles, friends, moms and dads alike made visits to our room, and the children were so excited to show them what they've been working on, and were astounded at their memory of events from the past (particularly how many of them remembered their Grade 3 teachers!).  Thanks to all who were able to make it - we loved having you! Here is a photo to show what a great turnout we had!
