Thanks Anna....

I am glad it was you and not me. After our morning discussion you did a great job at keeping us on task. I have used the four square before and now that I am moving down to fourth grade I am sure that I will find myself going back to it. Isn't funny how somethings come back around to us as teachers. I also loved how you tackled the word thesis. From a science perspective I love you. This concept is so hard for them to grasp. Yet, you made it so matter-of-fact that it did not seem intimidating.
How would I add reflexive writing? Maybe have them compare their beliefs to another student's thesis and contrast the differences. Thanks for the lesson, I am looking forward into "squaring" my kids.
