Exemplary Writing
Our school had an Exemplary Writing visit yesterday. It was a wonderful opportunity for us to showcase how our students learn to write, a subject of which we are all greatly proud. One of the visitors asked me in our exit interview, “Tell us about your writing journey.” As I looked over the table of past student writings, I replied, “Here it is….This visit is not something that we have just begun to prepare for this year. This has truly been a journey! Over the past five and a half years, students who entered Doby’s Mill as Kindergartners have grown and matured as writers. Now, they are fifth graders preparing for middle school. Their success as emerging writers is a testament to how diligent our teachers work to integrate writing into all subject areas and instruction each and every day.” I was so proud of the teachers and students. They really presented our school yesterday in a manner which is truly EXEMPLARY. While we won’t hear any news from our visit until late May, I am so thankful that I have the opportunity to go to work at such a highly energetic and highly effective and wonderfully compassionate school each and every day!
