Life Lesson #30 (Pay It Forward)...

"Pay It Forward"

*I've always love the idea of paying it forward.

*In my own life I try to do this as much as possible and have found great joy in doing so.

*This concept is also a major umbrella topic in my classroom throughout the year.

*This video was shared with my writers today.  A great discussion was had afterward.

*The writing was on point and I saw much engagement during their writing time.

*My fourth graders recorded their thoughts, feelings, reactions, connections, or reminders.

*Some of them even wrote about things they could do to pay it forward.

*Several of the writers shared what they wrote at the end of our writing time.  

*I think this will be a "life lesson" clip they will remember for quite some time.
