Reflecting on Today
It's Tuesday and I am T I R E D! Maybe it's the weather. I HOPE it's the weather. I will say that we are busy at school ALL day----seriously. Today I took a can of pineapple to eat for my lunch and I just now realized that I had opened that can of pineapple and set it next to my desk and never eaten it. We are that busy all day. Want to know what we were busy with today? Here are some of the exit slips reflections from our class.
We DID learn about place value and rocket math during math today!!! I'm glad that electronics day was a good surprise, too. It makes my heart happy to see that my students are enjoying their classroom friends, too! Star reading scores will be shared with students tomorrow. Goals will be written on how we can work on our reading to bring up our star scores before we test again (it will be awhile before we test again for reading).
I LOVE that this student realized that we are studying cells in science. Today we played a fun Kahoot game about cells to help us introduce the topic. The TIGWARS Team won with 3 out of the 4 questions answered correctly!
It was pretty neat to have 2 birthdays in our classroom and 3 in 4th grade today! 9/9 is a neat day to celebrate.
As you can tell from all the answers on today's exit slips, we have been BUSY! Being tired tonight is okay because I know that I will be refreshed and rested for tomorrow. We are making progress and that takes work. The only place where success comes before work is the dictionary!
Shine On!

Feeling is More Powerful
Because we are a basketball family (not me as much as the rest of the fam), forgive me for using a basketball connection here. Do you know who Coach Krzyzewski is? Let's just call him Coach K, shall we? I have always been a "follower" of Coach K. Many years ago I had a group of 5th graders who were Duke Fans. We would occasionally pull up college basketball games during work time at the end of the day just to see how the Duke team was doing. We were really watching Coach K. Coach K is so much more than just a coach. What you may not know about Coach K is that he attended West Point and after some time away he returned to coach there. Coach K knew that hearing about West Point wasn't always enough. He said, "You can't talk about this place, see a movie about this place - you have to feel this place. You go to a place like this, you get it." I think Winskill and Lancaster Community Schools is like that right now. People are talking about Lancaster Community Schools and Winskill. #ArrowPride and #WinskillPride are all over Twitter and Facebook. It's a great place to be. You know what's better than reading about what's happening at Winskill? You know what's better than listening to what's being said? FEELING the message. Visit Winskill and you will FEEL the pride and enthusiasm. Thanks to all who have made me FEEL what Winskill Pride is! It's going to be a great year.
