Wrapping Up the Perfect Week!

Thank you to all who attended this year's Meet-the-Teacher Night!  I enjoyed seeing all of you and sharing my plans for your child this year!  We have wrapped up another terrific week and...if you had been in Room 19 this week, you would have seen/heard...

• Students learning about Habit #1:  Be Proactive and incorporating it into their daily conversations and routines.
• Students writing sentences based on silly pictures in an effort to practice writing complete sentences and complete subjects and predicates.
• Students checking out YHBA books in the Media Center and signing up for reading conferences with Mrs. Thiel!
• Students analyzing text and looking for ways that characters change throughout a passage/story.
• Margy being the first student to post a question on the "Wonder Wall"!  WAHOO!!
• Students learning about factors and playing "Factor Captor" in Mrs. Thiel's math class.
• Lilly M. and Sam being "in the brain" for showing amazing higher-level thinking during Math class!
• The entire class using latitude and longitude to find a location on a map (and all showing mastery of this very tough skill)!
• Student-writers analyzing writing samples and looking for points of strength and areas needing improvement.
• Students offering help and words of encouragement to each other while working on tasks.
• Happy students making their way to buses on Friday, already asking, "What are we doing next week?!" 

Thanks, everyone, for all that you do!  Talk to you soon!
