Morning Messages
This week I've decided to put some full-size versions of my Morning Messages so you can see them more clearly and easily. Also, I'm hoping to write a blog post about how I incorporate academics into every Morning Message.

MCAS Testing ~ Complete!
We had three days of state testing last week, and the kids worked so hard. As I was walking around, I noticed several of them looking back in the story. I really emphasized the importance of doing this during the test. I'm so proud of my students that I made this graphic on Canva.

In the meantime, I'm bringing him to see his orthopedic at the New England Baptist Hospital to see what the next step is:
In the meantime, he's supposed to use crutches and rest; and we're all waiting on him and giving him lots of attention. I'll let you know what the doctor says next week.
