Good Afternoon
WOW! Today was an exceptional morning! We all got a punch for being GREAT writers. We came in and everyone got started. I reviewed the Edit It poster....make sure your paper has your name, the date, picture matches the word, words go from left to right and top to bottom, there are spaces between words and punctuation is used (and used correctly)! I saw a number of our writers check their papers against the poster. I heard students checking each others papers before they had me look at it! AWESOME job little puppies! Independent already! Not only are we editing but we are continuing to improve. Our papers are becoming longer and more fluent. NO MORE short, choppy sentences...We are combining like sentences with and AND using pronouns!
Not only did we ALL get a punch for writers workshop but we WON the cafeteria challenge...we lined up quietly and quickly! Way to go!!! So everyone got 2 punches...some got more of course but what a great day!
TOP DOG
Today our the parents of our Top Dog, Justice, wrote a little something to let us know JUST HOW WONDERFUL Justice is to them!
My Justice
Her name was created for the purpose that she may serve our world in fairness.
Her smile is like the sunshine
So warm that it melts away all sadness
and encourages love.
Her eyes shine light with a glow that
inspires.
Her sweetness is contagious
My justice makes me want to be better each day.
She reminds me of her Mother.
My Justice is LOVE!
Happy Happy Birthday!
