Short Week #1

Congratulations on a wonderful week, everyone! I told the class this afternoon how very proud of them I am. We had a hard day of Spiral Reviews, writing centers, literacy centers, and more- and we managed to squeeze it all in! We are growing every day and students' stamina is especially evident on days like these. We have practiced and slowly built our skills so that we can work hard for hours without stopping. WOW!

Congratulations to Star Student Camryn for her achievement. We loved her mom's Parent Spotlight visit, and asked lots of interesting questions.

I am very proud of our growth in writing so far this year. Let me take a minute to brag on our 3rd graders!

From poetry and creative writing to informational reports, we are just knocking it out of the park. It makes me smile to see the students take pride in their finished products, and to see the growth over time. I am correcting less and less on their final drafts. Months ago, writing a short paragraph was a labor- let me tell you. Not so anymore! We are truly moving up. :-)

I wish everyone a restful weekend, and look forward to seeing you next week!
