Last week, the grade 1/2 students at our school celebrated their 100th day of school.  Very exciting! There were all sorts of students decked out in “100”.  Even Mrs. Ronne and Mr. Prebushewski joined in the fun, coming around to classrooms adorned with 100 treats to share.  In honor the day and of Coalhurst’s approaching centennial, students wrote about what they think their lives will be like when they are one hundred years old.

The grade 5/6 students served as assistants, helping their grade 1/2 buddies stretch out words or locate them on word walls.  They brainstormed with them for details they might want to include and helped them to revise and edit their writing.  The grade 5/6 students will also be doing some writing on the “100” theme, authoring articles about what they they think Coalhurst was like when it first became incorportated in 1913.  Watch for those to be posted on this blog soon!

According to what the grade 1/2 students came up with, they are going to be very active right through till their hundredth birthdays!  It was so much fun to watch the older students, coaching the younger ones as they worked to celebrate their ideas in writing.  Can’t wait to see the faces of these young authors when they see what they have written online for the whole world to enjoy!  The stories are shared in voicethread format.  You are welcome to comment using the button at the bottom of the thread.  You can type, record voice or even webcam your encouraging words.  Just remember that all comments are moderated so no one else will see what you have posted until we approve it!
