Writing Journals

We have added a new writing activity to the writing station and the kids are very excited  about it.   First, we wrote a story as whole class entitled "Robert the Artist."  Next, the students worked in small groups to write a story based on the the topic of the specific writing journal.  We focused on creating  a beginning, middle and end.  The journals will be in the writing station, but I am hoping we will also be using them during our read to self time. 

Summative

For the final project at the end of a six week planner, the students are usually required to put their learning into words.  (You will be able to see these during student led conferences.)  Here the students have gathered on the rug in front of the Learner Profile words to discuss and choose one to elaborate on.  Here are some of their thoughts: 

Respect:  I look at the teacher when she is talking.

Commitment:  I am commitment because I always try to finish my work.

Integrity:  I tell the truth and never lie.

Integrity:  I do the right thing when no one is looking.

Principled:  I do not blurt out words. 

Confidence:  I am confidence because I know I can.  I try new things. I don't' give up.

Respect:  I am polite and kind to myself and others!

Field Day/Field Trip T-shirts

Take a look at our great looking Field Day Shirt (Thank you Tracey!).   The students voted on a name and a design for the shirt.  I actually combined two different pictures from Lane and Graydon for the final design.   We are very excited and so proud to wear the t-shirt. 

  The Superheroes really are a Super Team!!!
