Heartwarming StoryI shared this Twitter thread with the Grade 5 students today. They all loved it so much and asked me to post it here so they could share it with their parents (keep scrolling, it's about 20 tweets long).

It can be intimidating, or even unenjoyable, to play a sport or activity where you don't feel as skilled or accepted in the game as others....

Line GraphIn class we had to make a story to match the line graph Miss Thompson put on the board. And I want to show you the story I made up to go with the line graph. So here it is. There once was a girl that walks to school and she had to walk every day and every night. One day she was walking to school and the weather was worse than other days and it took her 30 minutes the next day it took her 40 minutes. And the walk just became longer and longer. Until it took her over two hours to walk to school. She was very late everyday....

"Be the quote" 🙂In my class every Monday, we do be the quote. Be the quote is when our teacher gives us a quote and we write about it. So for this blog post, I'm going to be telling you one of my favourite quotes that we've done. the quote is "When given the choice of being right and being kind, choose kind." This quote was by R.J Palacio from the book wonder. Here is an example of what the quote means: one day a class was baking in the kitchen and everyone had a group to make cookies. The first group was in the middle of putting their cookies in the oven but the second group dropped all there cookies on the floor. So the 1 group didn't really want to help them because they wanted to get the contest over with. But they chose kind and helped the other group. If they would've not helped them they wouldn't have been good leaders and that's why they chose kind....
