Fourth Grade Overnight II

The inaugural fourth grade overnight was a great success.  The students were quite upbeat and thoughtful throughout.  We placed the desks together to form a long row  for dinner, lit candles, and sat in silence for a few minutes before eating.  Students played games, read a lot, and Pentaminos were a big hit.  They helped with serving and clean-up.  About eight of them got up at 5:00 a.m., made their way quietly into the second grade classroom, and were serenely playing games or reading in hushed tones.  All in all, it was a wonderful with many funny or insightful or touching moments.  I am grateful for all the hard work Margaret has put into deepening this fine community of learners and friends, and am also grateful for her work putting together this event itself!
