It's hard to believe how fast your granddaughters are growing up.

Yes, having students do this is a fun way to begin to know them at the first of the year, but also for them to compare what they write with an end-of-year poem, too. Ingrid shows her strong feelings for being kind here, something I know about her well.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-62901561895231361612019-06-19T08:16:12.879-06:002019-06-19T08:16:12.879-06:00Linda!
