     What a wonderful evening! The timing of our book could not have been any more perfect with current events in the news. We shared our pages and autographed books while enjoying food brought in by our wonderful parents. Thank you to all who came and supported us during our year of choosing peace...and all three years together. Thank you for your generous gifts and heartfelt words during the night. I will miss each one of you and am glad we made this book to remember all the action we took, to peacefully make the world a better place.

Thanks to Claire's mom who is also a teacher and brought in the chicks from her class.

Students were inspired by the students in 5th and 6th grade who are working on their exhibition projects. They decided they wanted to use presentation boards....and took it upon themselves to buy or make their boards! That's called being an enthusiastic learner! We will share our boards at our book release celebration. Also during May, we decided to come up with our own homework. We chose to read magazines and respond anyway we wanted. The only requirement was that we had to connect what we read to our unit of inquiry.
