Busy Week

I am glad it is Friday. It has been a long and busy week. We have been at school almost every night this week.

On Monday, the girl gave a 20 minute presentation to her class. In second grade the kids research their heritage and do a report on a country their ancestors are from. Her heritage country was Mexico. She had to do a report on a historical figure of her choosing from her heritage country. She chose Sor Juana de la Cruz, who was a nun in the 16th century that fought for women's rights to be educated. She then had to give a 15 minute presentation as a travel agent on a city in Mexico. She made a tri-fold brochure of various attractions in Mazatlan. She did great, her brother and I were able to go to her class for the presentation.

On Tuesday, there was an annual singing event that half of grades sing at. Since the girl is in choir, she also sang at the event.

On Thursday, it was Authors Night for the second graders. For the past month each kid has been writing a book. The only parameter was that it had to be about a ring. The books were then bound (4 copies per child). Each kid then got to read his/her book and also go to an authors signing to sign the 4 copies.
