*We are currently winding down our "32 Day Countdown".
*This year I had 31 students, plus myself. During the countdown, each student was highlighted during the day.
*They were able to choose quite a few activities during the day and the class honored the particular student.
*One activity each student completed, was a daily blog. The blog was a chance for them to reflect on their year.
*As each student has written and shared their thoughts about our year together, I have noticed a common theme emerge.
*The young writers are not writing about standardized tests, learning targets, skill/strategies, and/or particular lessons. They are responding to the blog with memories of special events, daily highlights, and community building activities I try to build into each and every day.
*Here are just a few samples of what my fourth graders are reflecting on...
