This week, students listed things "smart kids do" in their Writer's Notebook. During Class Meeting, we discussed how being smart isn't something we are or aren't born with, it's something we choose to be. Kids said that growing minds use their resources wisely, including tools, anchor charts, books, and classmates. They said smart kids think critically about the world around them and ask smart questions. Finally, we agreed smart kids respect other people and their thinking, even when it's different from our own.

Author Jackie Polys came to visit and share her book about the Rally Squirrel who joined the St. Louis Cardinals on the field a few years ago. Christian, Jayden, Haylee, Parker, Madison, & Scarlet welcomed Mrs. Polys by wearing Cardinals gear.
Mrs. Polys showed her first draft of her book compared to her published piece. She explained that her editor required many corrections and revisions to her first version of the story. It took a lot of work for the story to be ready to be made into a picture book!
