Student Highlight
Celebrating Writing
I am so proud of students' writing! Students are currently engaged in their informational writing unit. In this unit students are learning to determine what information is most important and to convey new information to their readers. Fourth grade students are writing like historians. They are setting goals that will help them express their learning about geography, history, economics and civics. Second graders are busy testing force and motion experiments and wring about their hypothesis, procedures, results and conclusions. I am so proud of their hard work and continued success!
