Tootsie Roll has been selected as one of three children from her third grade class (along with, I imagine, some kids from the other 3 third grade classes) to get pulled out of her Language Arts period once a week for a Poetry Enrichment class. They made their selections based on teacher recommendations and early writing samples. It was pretty funny, she brought home this very official letter addressed to us that explained the program and we had to go over it with her (it basically said that it's pretty rigorous work, miss two assignments and you're out, plus you have to make up the LA work you miss in class) and we all had to sign it, her included. I think she thought she was in trouble until we read it because no one had told her what it was, poor kid!
WOOHOO for my talented little writer! I am so proud of her! (And I didn't even know this program existed in her school, so rock on!)
