I just had to tell you about one thing that really warmed my heart today!!!
We do Rocket Math every afternoon, and when students open their folders and see that they have moved up to the next level, usually no one says too much to them. Today, I heard at least three separate groups of kids say, "Congratulations, _____!" And that was even if they hadn't moved up themselves. That may not seem like that big of a deal, but it showed me that we really have created a community in our class. For six and seven year olds to be truly happy when their friend moved on and they didn't????? That's HUGE. Thanks again for having such awesome kids. And once again, I keep asking but no one is answering!!! Can I keep them? :)
This afternoon all the teachers headed over to Emily Dickinson during early release to discuss some exciting new things in writing! Writing is emerging as a more and more important part of school due to the sheer amount that we are required to write as adults, especially with the increase in technology. All of the teachers commented on how amazing it is to see what students can do! Way to go first graders!
