striving

I love when kids strive to apply what they are learning. Here are paraphrases of statements two students made recently:

Dylan: I know I can make my story even better. I just don't know how. I've been revising and revising it, but still, I know I can make it better.

Shannon: My partner and I read Click, Clack, Moo which I'd read a lot of times before. But I'd never really thought about how the cows are resourceful.

(This last quote relates to our focus this week on resourcefulness. Your child may ask you for a good resourceful story tonight!)
