What a lovely, gorgeous weekend! \u00a0I hope you were able to get outside and enjoy some of Michigan’s fall beauty. \u00a0Yesterday we went for a drive along Edward Hines Drive and Michigan sure was showing off with colorful leaves.<\/p>\n

Today we begin a “Weekend Write.” \u00a0On Mondays I will have them write in their Journals about something they did over the weekend. \u00a0Most will begin with a picture and then I will encourage them to write a letter or word that will go with their picture. \u00a0As the year progresses you’ll be able to see their writing really develop.<\/p>\n
