Monday, Monday. In morning meeting, despite some squirming and chattiness, we had fruitful discussions about more uses for our class blog including posting pictures, jokes and quotes submitted by the class. I am very excited about this fabulous idea. We also had an all to brief conversation about our first six weeks of school. Although a lot of the conversation revolved around things we did not like, we were still able to have a respectful conversation. I tried my best to just listen, since more than anything I want to know how 6sers feel about their year so far. Thanks for sharing with me and with your classmates. You are thoughtful group of young women and men.
