Tonight when I received the first Notes Home in my in-box, I delighted in reading about all the amazing things happening throughout the school.  Then when I got to the end and saw the link for the Daily Wonder blog, I remembered how many wonders I’ve neglected to share.  Although truth be told, it’s pretty hard to share them on a Friday night!

So I’m looking ahead to next week and thinking about presenting a Great Lesson: The Story of Writing.  Twice a year the elementary students enjoy a Great Lesson and the themes of these rare all-class experiences cycle through understanding the big picture of the universe to how humans began writing and using numbers.  I’ll be sure to give an update about where The Story of Writing leads our young learners!
