Reflecting on our week: 

The kids dove right into our comic unit. The students love to learn and I love nothing more than when our room is buzzing with excitement over lessons I have planned. I have included a link to one of the websites we used to create short comics. This is a free site that also allows students to print their comics. Take a look at their first issue in the hallway. I reminded them to ask for parent permission to print these at home. I have a feeling that printer ink will be on everyone's shopping list this weekend! :)
