Creating Lasting Memories...

We have been talking about memories and our feelings in class.
We read a great non-fiction book called Feelings, and we shared a time where we may have felt like the person in the story. We also read a great story entitled Wilfred Gordon MacDonald Partridge, and we discussed what is a memory. 
Through the story we learned that a memory can be as precious as gold, something that makes you laugh, something that makes you sad, something from long ago, and a memory can be warm. 
The children then created their own four square memory box. This was AMAZING to watch them write and draw about their memories.
Beginning tomorrow the children will be using their pictures that we asked you to send in and write stories to go with their "memories."
