Hey Fifth Graders!
It has been a long time, hasn't it?! I hope this new year is bringing you joy! I am proud of the work you are doing. Can you believe all that is going on with Mr. Terupt?! Wow, it is so crazy. Every time I read it, I nearly cry.
In this new year, I want to remind you of something. YOU are a amazing! Each one of you is smart. Remember students, don't ask yourself, "Am I smart?" Rather, ask yourself, "How am I smart?"
There is a fella by the name of Howard Gardener and he believes that all people are smart in different ways. In fact, there are eight ways you might be smart:
Word Smart
Math Smart
Music Smart
Body Smart
Nature Smart
Self Smart
People Smart
Art Smart
You can learn more about what that means here:

We will be talking about this more in the future. But,for now, be thinking of ways that you are smart!
Next week I will talk about the smarts starting with WORD SMART!
Who loves you?! This gal :)
Now, go read a book!
