How can it be that another week is complete? Our time in 4th grade just goes so
quickly! We are falling into routines
and most of them are good. I have to
share with you a little experience that I had recently. As you know, I love to run. It gave me great pleasure to get to go and
watch a dear friend run her first ½ marathon last week. She did an AMAZING job. She finished in an hour and 48 minutes. I was so happy for her and I was thrilled to
be there to see her finish. Then my own
self-talk started. I began berating
myself for my recent ½ finish time. I
said things like, “You obviously didn’t try your best. You are so slow. Why do you bother when so many other people
are faster and stronger?” After stewing
in my thoughts for a bit, I realized that each of us has our own unique brand
of being. That’s what is so great. In our classroom we get to celebrate what is
making each of us our own and I have to tell you that there are 24
awesomesauce, bombtastic 4th graders that I get to celebrate
learning with every day. If you would
like to follow along with more of our learning, check out our facebook page or
blog.
