Monday, November 11

Today is National Reading Day, so the whole day was dedicated to reading.  First we shared our book reports on books we've been reading for the past month.  After as many as we could fit in, (we have to do some tomorrow) we had about an hour or so to read a new book and experience the adventure of reading.  Later on we watched a fantastic movie that touched my heart and many of my classmates', based on a book.  The movie we enjoyed was Bridge to Teribithia.  When recess came, we all decided since it was indoor recess and we were all cozy in dress down clothing, blankets, pillows, sleeping bags, or bean bags, that we wanted to stay in and have a "nap time."  After lunch and recess, we watched the rest of the movie, enjoying popcorn and brownies. Yummy!  As the day came to a close the 5th and 6th grade went to gym class, and played Battleship for Veterans Day with bowling pins and dodgeballs.
Have a great rest of the week and God Bless!
