ReplyDeleteLooks like you're off to a great start at school! You have a very ambitious class of 3rd graders, which is awesome. Have a terrific weekend!
ReplyDeleteLove this thinking and celebration of what is to be! Can't wait for Dot Day:)
ReplyDeleteTune into a werewolf! Now there is a dream!
ReplyDeleteYour post has me thinking about how I might make my mark this year! I love what you did with your 3rd graders.
ReplyDeleteSally, I looked into International Dot Day. It really looks like fun. Thanks for sharing the information.
ReplyDeleteSally, I love how you are celebrating Dot Day 15 with your students. I turned my dot for all students into an #eduinspiration. You can see it at http://beyondliteracylink.blogspot.com/2015/09/make-your-mark-in-life.html. I would love to see some of your students' dots. Maybe you will celebrate that next week.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea that you're all ready to 'make your marks'. Re-visiting this throughout the year to see how it's going will be another cause for celebration. Love that you've made the chart!
