Presentation of 2nd grade project - Les souris

Presenting her research to Leo and Papa



Clara's presentation on mice was excellent, she knew her stuff and took the presentation very seriously. This is no surprise - she takes all of her school work verrry seriously, sometimes even a bit too seriously. She's a perfectionist and I dare say that is not going to change any time soon.

Apparently the tension in the classroom the day of the parent presentations was palpable. Annie, Clara's teacher confided to us that the kids had been bickering with each other all day which is very unlike their group. Sounds like all of the kids were feeling a certain amount of stress leading up to their big night. Well, they needn't have. They were all on top of their game and presented wonderful projects complete with bibliographies.

Did you know what a bibliography was when you were in grade two? I certainly didn't, but Clara explained it was to thank the author of the book she'd learned from and to prove that she didn't make anything up. Yup, that sounds about right.
