Students were excited to gather at the carpet for 'Talk Time' during our first few days back to school. As each student held the talking rock they shared about something special from Spring Break. Students did a great job using a clear, strong speaking voice as well as remembered to add important details such as who they were with - what they were doing - where they were - why it was special. The students demonstrated great respect by carefully listening to their friends as they talked. After sharing as a group students were invited to represent what they had just shared in their journal. Students worked hard to ensure that their picture included important details, careful colouring as well as 'kid-writing' (phonetic spellings).
