Life Lesson #26 (Be Different)...

"Be Different"

*Thursday is the day when I present a "life lesson" to my fourth graders.

*It is my hope that these mini-lessons inspire them to be the best possible person they can be.

*We watch the video as a class and discuss a bit.

*The writers then get busy in their writer's notebooks.  

*They can write their reactions, thoughts, feelings, connections, and/or reminders.

*At the end of our 5-10 minutes writing time, a few of the kids will share what they wrote.

*One of my major goals each year is to teach my students to be different, stand out, and be themselves.  Isn't that what we want for everyone!
