Today, after Afternoon Work Time and a very short Afternoon Meeting, we spent quite a lot of time working on our writing for the Writer's Celebration next week. Today, the kids worked on their illustrations, and also practiced reading their pieces. After that, we headed to the gym for an assembly - the 4th graders had a parade of the "state floats" that each made for his/her state research project. It was quite a show, and the kids really enjoyed it, I think.

When we got back down to our room, had a quick recess outside (after sitting the gym for about 45 minutes). When we got back into our room, we worked more on our illustrations (and finished them!). After that, it was time to pack up and head home!
