End of Year Reflections

There is some wise sayings about how we learn from our experiences. But instead of simply learning from our experiences, what some people call our mistakes, John Dewey, a famous education thinker and writer, once said, "We don't learn from experience. We learn from reflecting on experience."

So, as we come to the end of the school year, we will do some reflecting on our experiences. It's a good thing to do.

you only get one shot


Sorry I can't be there in class Monday or Tuesday, but I'll be back for Wednesday and the Reading Performance Series Testing. I'm in New Orleans, with my family. My father, who the picture is taken with, has been in the hospital since Tuesday night, so I drove down here to be with him.

Ms. Hagood is a wonderful sub, and as long as the computers and technology work, everything will go well. Do your best as you reflect upon how things have gone for Reading this year, so that you can prepare yourself to do well on the test on Wednesday. And remember that all Library books are due tomorrow.
