Praise
- We had a great week! Our visit with Henry was a HUGE success. I appreciate everyone's effort to help make the day possible (lots of people rearranged their schedules to cover classes and teachers were willing to attend sessions). Henry's support and positive encouragement allows us to continue our work towards fully encompassing this writing process program in our school. We are definitely on the right track!
