Excited is a word that I use often with this group... yet, on June 9, it was in all upper case... EXCITED!
The day was fabulous with each talking about the book they had checked out from the UI Library in our last Literature Circle to playing the Palouse Prairie Song on recorders while the whole school sang in Community Circle. Spontaneously, the 4/5 crew broke into the last verse they have wanted for awhile. It goes.. Palouse Prairie teachers are awe-some. There were appreciative nods from the faculty.
They have grown up so much and together ended this 2009-2010 school year with the same intensity and integrity as they started. They really are an exceptional group.
It has been a terrific first year at PPSEL.
