I cannot believe that there are only 30 days of school left!! We are so close to becoming the 7th graders that we were hoping to become and that is sooooo exciting (and a little scary). This has been a remarkable year.
Back in November, our book report was a letter written to an author about a book that had an impact on our lives. The students worked and struggled and worked some more and finally prepared their final drafts to be submitted in January. It was with relief and a sigh of satisfaction that we put the manila envelope in the mail and sent it off for judging. Over 68,000 letters were entered with 955 letters coming from all over the state of Utah. Only 95 of the letters from Utah made it through Rounds 1 and 2 moving onto Round 3. We just received notification from the Letters About Literature organization that 9 of the 95 were from OUR school, from OUR 6th grade! I am just so proud of our students-they are amazing. We will be presenting the authors of the Round 3 letters with an award from Letters About Literature at the awards assembly on May 24, 2012. Congrats to all who worked so hard.
