Happy Friday!

What a great week we had at Emerson! I was able to see a lot of awesome student-driven research in multiple grade levels as they are choosing topics they are interested in and generating questions they would like to learn more about. It is amazing to see how engaged the students are in working with their peers and conducting the research. I can’t wait to see the writing that comes from their learning! Thank you to PTA for a wonderful Holiday Boutique last night and a big thank you to everyone who came out to support the event! Hopefully you got some good shopping done! Next week as we wrap up 2018 at Emerson we are excited for our author visit and class parties. Author, Candace Fleming, will be coming on Thursday morning… thank you to PTA and Mrs. Blanford for organizing the visit! We are very excited to learn about how her writing process is similar to ours as we write during Writer’s Workshop!
