Corrine's Assembly

by Corrine

Both the 2nd grade classes did an assembly today for the whole school and the 2nd grade parents. We sang a song called "Character counts", did a readers theater and sang another song called "Trustworthy". We wore blue shirts because that's the color of the pillar of character trustworthiness.






The Character Counts song had 3 verses and it was about having good character.

For the readers Theater I was narrator 4. It was based on the book "Liar Liar Pants on Fire" by Diane Degroke. I did my part with Mckenzie and Miles. We had to yell so the kids could hear us talking. I loved the readers theater because it taught us how to be trustworthy with other friends. It was kind of a funny story because in the story kids get confused about whats on fire, when really the kids just said Liar Liar pants on fire.

Trustworthy song-It told you about being trustworthy. You have to spell trustworthy in the song. My teacher wrote the song.

At first I felt nervous because I was singing in front of 300 people or more, and then I felt better because it actually wasn't so scary after all.

After we did the assembly we took some pictures. This is my silly picture. Then Mrs. Basfield gave the 2 classes got 88 tickets to feed the leopard because we did such a great job! When we show good character at school we earn tickets to feed a stuffed leopard in a glass cage. When the cage gets filled to different levels we get special parties.

Character Counts! Character counts!
In everything you do.
Character counts! Character counts!
Its part of me and you.
When you're at work,
Or when you're at play,
You show your character everyday.
Character counts! Character counts!
Show your good character in large amounts.

When you're trustworthy you will be loyal. You will be honest too.
When you're responsible, you'll be dependable.
People can count on you.
Try to show respect.
Try to be fair.
Be a good citizen and show you care.
Character counts, character counts
Show your good character in large amounts.

Character counts, Character counts, in everything you do.
Character counts! Character counts!
You can help the sun shine through.
You can be polite or you can be rude,
It all depends on your attitude.
Character counts, Character counts!
Show you're good character in large amounts!
