This message is actually for Lauren.Lauren, I just finished reading your memoir and I just had to email you. I was SO impressed with your revision effort; my friend, you deserve a revision award. You did a terrific job of identifying places in your writing where you should slow down the moment and elaborate. I was so excited for you when you caught your crab! Awesome writing effort kiddo! Can I use parts of your writing for my lesson on Tuesday? I want your classmates to see all your revision work.Have a good weekend!Kind regards,Mrs. Knox
Lauren wrote back with the following:
Thanks Mrs. Knox. I really appreciate being the "guinea pig" for the class and it's amazing to be one of the students that every other kid talks about. I enjoy being in your class this year. I hope I learn a lot from your teaching.Sincerely, Lauren K.
And Mrs. Knox's response:
Something tells me you’re going to have an awesome 4th grade year, and thanks for agreeing to be my guinea pig :)
