These words are character traits that I hope my students will demonstrate. Each time I see one of the kiddos exhibiting the "college word" I make an announcement and they get to put a sticker on the word that is located on our special college word wall. The kids strive to exhibit their new college words. <br /><br />jwalker@acsd1.org Ms. Walker's Classhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00212407647078781548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4552904866848236784.post-63580237768995890812013-01-13T20:03:51.262-05:002013-01-13T20:03:51.262-05:00We are implementing Rachel's Challenge.

Each week there is a school-wide focus life principle. We look for it in the stories we read in my class, the activities we do, and the stories I read to my class. These really stick with the kids, and they can readily recognize not only the one we're working on for the week, but previous ones too. This program makes a big difference.<br /><br />Jill<br />a.little.red.wagon123@gmail.com<br />Dr. Jill E.
