It was so much fun watching and listening to the group of girls at poetry today...Emily had shared her "poem" but needed to keep working on it.  She wasn't able to get much else written because the others were SO EXCITED to "SING" her poem.
We are having so much fun doing the Daily 5...Work stations are meaningful and quality work is being produced!  The students are becoming so INDEPENDENT!  What amazing 2nd graders they are going to be...
I am SO going to miss this bunch!
