Chapel

Is a daily event at my school. While I am not a big fan of the religious element, it is nice to have a quiet special place where all of the students gather every day. Yesterday it was my turn to run chapel, and as usual, I chose to showcase a grades work rather than give a talk. I was so proud of my second graders! They all read their three sentences and did beautifully. Today, M's teacher had chapel and she chose to have the children act out a Leo Leonni book, Swimmy. Nobody had lines, but M was proud to dress up and hold up her painting when the time came. There is something special about that space and rituals, and traditions!
