looked, felt and acted great, having one of our best days of the year as they pushed their minds through challenging vocabulary and punctuation quizzes in reading and writing, respectively, and came up with an amazing definition for the the term history ("looking back at the past to improve our lives in the present and make things even better in the future") as we began our class definitions of these terms.
I was especially proud of the way the sixth-grade students behaved while waiting in the hallway to take their pictures, leading to compliments from several other teachers. I always speak to my class about representing themselves the right way while transitioning through the school, and this group has really taken that message to heart early in the school year, especially with the transition to the new modular. I have been quite impressed and am grateful for having such an amazing group of kids.
