Comment quality is going up!

I was really proud of all of you at Thursday's session.  You have really "bumped up" the quality of your comments and are truly helping each other.  Editing is hard work but you just rolled up your sleeves and went right to work.  Having to really think about another person's writing other than your own is  helpful for your own writing. It gets you thinking about lots of ways you can improve.  That's what we are striving to accomplish. So, congrats on the quality of your comments - much more important than quantity. Yeah, I know you like quantity, too.  I hear you! We'll work on getting a good mix of both.

Mrs. Smith has created a weblog to celebrate student writing from third graders at J.H. House.  Next week we will visit the site and use the comment feature to encourage these emerging writers.  If you want to take a sneak peek, go to Writers Rock!  Hats off to Mrs. Smith!  More webloggers are entering the arena.  Isn't that neat?

Keep up the good work!  Six more days till Thursday!
