Teacher Update:
It was a very busy week in our classroom this week. We got a lot done and shared a lot of laughs. I think one of my personal highlights was seeing the excitement of the students going math center to math center - the joy in their eyes filled my heart and reminds me why I am doing this job.

The word of the week was STAMINA! We are working on building up our stamina during read to self and daily 5. We are already up to 9 minutes and the kids are begging me to try 10. I love seeing the enthusiasm and watching them set goals for themselves.

It has been an amazing week! Hope you enjoyed the students updates!
