Malala and the Magic Pencil
As a child in Pakistan, Malala made a wish for a magic pencil. She would use it to make everyone happy, to erase the smell of garbage from her city, to sleep an extra hour in the morning. But as she grew older, Malala saw that there were more important things to wish for. She saw a world that needed fixing. And even if she never found a magic pencil, Malala realized that she could still work hard every day to make her wishes come true.

This beautifully illustrated story tells Malala's journey of hope even in the most difficult of times!!! She taught us that one person CAN make a difference and that one voice CAN be heard as long as you do not give up!!! Malala started a worldwide movement because she decided to speak for those who were too scared to stand up for their rights (ex: girls education).

We really learned the importance of appreciating all the things that we have and we had a lengthy conversation about how lucky we are to have all the things we need and also many of our wants. We talked about how there are children in the world who do not have clean water, food, a home, education and so much more. Ms. Jaskolka was very impressed with all the ways our class wants to help those in need over the holiday season (Give toys to children in need).

We were then off to Gym.

After first recess and lunch we continued working on our multiplication and division math review.

After second lunch we watched the Oakwood Christmas Concert. They did an amazing job!!!!




At the end of the day Isabella performed action!!! We read a book that she brought in related to our cultures unit!!!
