The following email was sent out to everyone last night. Just wanted to be sure that everyone saw it. Sorry for the last minute change. 🙂

This week’s paragraph of the week is a spin on our character trait study from our guided reading groups these past few weeks. Students were asked to describe their own traits and to connect it to a color. Here is a good visual to help anyone having difficulty. Focus on the center of the circle…then move outward until you see a word that describes you. Have fun with this and be descriptive with examples of your “FAST”- feelings, actions, sayings, and thoughts. 🙂
