Great Word Work

We used Habit 2-Begin With the End in Mind this week. We all agreed our spelling words were difficult. We discussed what grade we wanted to earn on the Friday test and what we could do in order to get that grade. They decided if they worked extra hard all week when they were at the word work center that it would help them learn the words and achieve their goal of earning a good grade on the test. Here are some awesome examples of hard work:
