First grade book by Owen
Katelyn as Lady Bird Johnson
Giving her one minute speech Literacy night at Shannon... only one week ago Katelyn came home with this living museum project she was supposed to do. Research, props and costume to be ready in one week, one minute speech needed to written, edited and memorized. Our first reaction was..."Seriously".
Like we have nothing else to do. Like Katelyn doesn't do anything but school. Once our tantrum was over we set down and got to work. It actually turned out to be fun, exhausting but fun. First thing to do was choose who to write about. After looking over a list of names forty names deep we came across Claudia Johnson, better known as Lady Bird Johnson. She just seemed to fit. She and Katelyn share similar ideas. Katelyn loves the environment.
Last night was so busy at school, Owen wrote a story that they edited and published and he dedicated it to his whole class. It was so sweet to have him read it to us, and see how much pride he took in it. Katelyn's speech was heard over and over by many. They were supposed to be like a wax figure, and when someone pushed the button on their poster they turned on and gave their speech. She did great, and was exhausted when it was over. I was so proud of our kids, our school and our teachers. Shannon Elem. really takes pride in making reading such an importance in their education. The fifth grade parents also sold Pizza, cookies and drinks for dinner as a fund raiser for the Sky Ranch trip coming this May. All in all last night was lots of fun. I'm so very proud of my kids. Great job Katelyn and Owen.
