We will also hopefully have our blog displayed on a netbook, so more people can check out our wonderful work online!  COme back later to see some pictures of our expo experience.

Speeches!

What a busy time it has been for Room 7.  Over the last two weeks all the children have been sharing their speeches in class.  This year, as well as reflecting on their own speech presentation, the children gave feedback to each other.  It is very interesting to see the children thinking about ways we can all improve our oral presentations.

I am very pleased to announce that two Room 7 children will be presenting their speeches at the finals in Week 8. They are Syvannah and Mack.  The rest of Room 7 are right behind you both!

The Shadow Moon...

Sometimes for writing the children get to choose a card from the narrative bag.  Today, Latisha got this card:

Make up an interesting story about the moon.

And here it is...

The Shadow Moon

Once there was an excited moon.  It always made a scary shadow, to scare kids away from dangerous  houses and places.  One night when it was very dark and the full moon came, the moon was going to blow up!  That night, he did, so there was no moon.

The next beautiful night, the moon became a shadow.

One time the shadow moon went to a haunted house to make sure there was no trouble.  There wasn't, but when the shadow moon left, children came there.  The shadow moon did not know that another shadow moon was in the haunted house.  That shadow moon was evil!  The evil shadow moon always ate children, and would refuse to give up eating them.

From that day on, the evil shadow moon always ate children. Then, the good shadow moon found out! So he made a disgusting poisoned kid to kill that evil shadow moon for good.  It worked! And from that day on NO kids got eaten by that filthy shadow moon.  All the kids were safe.
