Today was a chaotic but fun day. We had our author visit with Mr. Charles R. Smith, Jr. and it was soo very cool! His presentation was amazing and very motivational and meaningful. He talked about his life and how he got started but also discussed that discipline, focus and control are necessary. Hmmm...I seem to say that a lot but it sounded much cooler coming from him! Anyway, other than our presentation from Mr. Smith, we also worked on converting using the metric system in Math, began our new fantasy book, Puddlejumpers and had Guidance with Mrs. Vidic where she discussed self-discipline with the kiddos. Thank you to Clare, Baylie and Kimmie for sharing their finished poetry with Mr. Smith! They put their nerves aside and delivered. (Thank you also to Carter and Natalie because we shared their poetry with him and he really enjoyed it even though you weren't there...hope you don't mind!)
