Through the course of the year, the ELA teachers push our readers and writers to
live the life of a reader... live the life of a writer. Our classroom has a quote on our wall that reads, "You must read like a writer to write like a writer!". In Mrs. Koster's class, no one embodies this more than Jordan! Jordan is constantly pushing herself to read new books and interesting genres.
Because of her reading habits, she has shown tremendous growth this year as a writer. She has shown so much growth that when the "Work Over Time" bulletin board came up Wednesday morning, her class stood outside in AWE... reading each piece and celebrating with her, even congratulating her on her work! Isn't this what we dream of as fourth grade writers? Our hope is that readers will see our piece and be amazed! We want them to feel what our characters are feeling. We want them to laugh and cry with us in our narratives.
Jordan... we are SO proud of the author you have become this year. This board is dedicated to your growth! Mrs. Koster wants you to know that it is only a tiny picture of the growth that has occurred on the inside this year!
Thank you for working hard at perfecting your craft. You are an inspiration!
Never stop writing!
