I am thankful for...

Recently, Mrs. Sulhoff's classroom door caught my attention. The door was decorated with a turkey made-up of sentences that each of her second graders had written about something that they are thankful for at Riverside Elementary. I stopped. I read the sentences. I smiled.

I thought how these statements would be perfect to publish on my blog this Thanksgiving season to share with a larger audience some of our students' perspectives as to why our school is great!

Mrs. Sulhoff enabled her students to type their sentences and then email them to me through their class's Google account that had been previously created while they were using a set of Chromebooks.
