Congratulations Tessa - You have read 100 nights!

Here is what Tessa wrote today at her writing rotation activity.

This Friday I read 100 nights of reading. I decided I would have a painting party. We painted the Mona Lisa. We did a special colour for the skin. We had good fun. The Mona Lisa is a famous painting by a famous artist called Leonardo da Vinci. He is one of the most famous painters in the world.


Tessa - I really enjoyed your party idea. I am so proud of your efforts in reading. This is also an amazing piece of writing.  Tino pai Tessa!
