Third-Grade Assembly

Julia has been excited all week for the Third Grade Assembly, which took place this afternoon.  Each third grade class demonstrated a particular word through such art forms as skits, poetry, and writing.  Julia's class word was "compassion."  While many of Julia's friends chose to perform a humorous skit, Julia, unsurprisingly, chose to write a paragraph about a historical figure who embodied compassion.

Here she is in a video of a video, reading about Clara Barton:

Furthermore, each class performed a dance, followed by an entire 3rd grade dance:

And things finished off with a song.  You can tell, on this video, about when Julia noticed me in the audience, as she suddenly began desperately attempting to suppress her smile:

Awww.  That assembly was all kinds of heart-warming.  Three cheers for compassion!
