Wishes...

Every year I have the kids watch a wonder movie called Annabelle's Wish. It has a really sweet message and the kids love it. Christmas is a time of year when the kids start making their own wish lists and get very excited about all the possibilities they might find under the tree for Christmas. After the movie, we take a few minutes and talk about some "unselfish wishes" and what that means.

The kids talked about what it truly means to "need" at Christmas and they came up with some very heart-warming ideas. After they wrote their wish, we went to the computer lab and learned a little about Microsoft Word and all the different fonts, sizes, and colors. They typed their wishes up and we will display them in the hallway.

This year, I am recording some of the students reading them for the blog (if I have a permission slip). I can only do a couple of them at a time because it take a while to upload. I will try to get as many as I can through the next couple of weeks. You have really great kids!! (You might need to turn your volume up.)

Just think, they are only 4th graders!
