Book release in grade 4

Children of grade 4 have had an exciting project as a part of the English class. They have written a book on their own! The day of the official book release has come and Mrs. Shetty was the guest of honor to release them by untying a pretty ribbon tied around the book. Not everyone was ready for the release but we had 5 shining writers who were. Sishir, Anoushka, Aryanvi, Mahati and Sahiti.

The rest will get a chance with the postponed release but I could clearly see it on their faces that they regretted not being done on time. Surely that was a valuable learning for them and in my opinion as long as kids feel they wish they did it on time, we are on a good way. The only thing we should fear would be indifference. I am sure everyone will now feel motivated to finish their books as soon as possible.

The children have picked their own topics, built their characters and have on average aimed for 3 chapters. The books ended up neatly decorated and over flowing with imagination of our enthusiastic authors. They will be placed in our school library for other children to enjoy their stories.

Elements of Magic by Anoushka

Space Ranger Jupiter by Mahati

A funny moment when release didn't go smoothly
because Aryanvi tied a knot to her ribbon :)
