*Our fourth grade classes spent the day at the Kindness Retreat presented by Youth Frontiers.
*This field trip is awesome, meaningful, and impactful for our students.
*We got busy writing in our notebooks as soon as we returned to school.
*One of my goals is to help my students reach their full potential.
*Each Thursday I feature a different video with a "life lesson" in it.
*After viewing the video once or twice, we chat a bit about it as a group.
*I then have the writers record their thoughts in their writer's notebooks.
*They can write their thoughts, reactions, connections, wonderings, learnings, or whatever is on their mind regarding the video.
*Encouragement is also given to reflect on the "message" of the clip.
*After about 5-10 minutes of writing, we listen to a few of the students share what they wrote.
*It is my hope that through these "life lessons", my students can become the best young people they can be.
