Good Morning from CE

Hi parents and friends!

Sending a shout-out from Michal's CE class, made up of Julia W, Julia S, Cece, Megan, Marley, Madison, Ricky, Caden, Kat, Sydney, JP, Jake, Molly, Julieann, Emilia, and Miranda.

We've been talking a lot about individuality and have shared some of our unique traits, whether it's having our appendix out, being able to sail, play seven instruments, or being one of 120 second cousins.

We used those ideas to yesterday write an I AM poem, which allows us to look at ourselves, what we like and dislike, what we hope and dream for, and what we're worried about.

We also talked about how, even with our own individual traits, we can unite these to become even stronger. So today, we combined traits to make Super-Superheroes. One of our superheroes can breathe under water, has super strength, a super brain, and super speed. Another one has extreme flexibility, a huge brain, strong legs, and warp speed.

No spoilers on any finished product yet because we don't want to let out any secrets before the parent presentation! You'll just have to come join us on Tuesday so see for yourself!
