Proud Moment!

It was a proud moment for me in the library this afternoon. As mentioned in a previous blog posting, I had planned to have spelling-bees for two weeks in the library. The Grade 8 class came for their library time, and promptly sat down, excited to begin. Unfortunately, I had forgotten to bring the prizes for the spelling-bee, so I was going to postpone until the next week. Their teacher mentioned that they were looking forward to having the spelling-bee game, so I gave them the option to play without prizes. To my surprise, they wanted to go ahead and play the game, and even their teacher joined in! In fact, we had two games and they are all looking forward to the games next week. I'm blessed to have such a wonderful group of kids. Wow! I couldn't ask for students to be more engaged than this.
