Today was an exciting day for the Thompson community. Students and teachers throughout the building voted on a new motto for the school to adopt. Ballots were cast for one of the three following choices:

•  Thompson CARES
•  Be Your Best Self
• Try Your Hardest
• It will interesting to see which one of these Thompson adopts as their new motto.

In math class, students developed another strategy to help them solve division problems. Later in class, students broke up into small groups to solve some challenging word problems. Students worked well together and rose to the occasion.

Room 312 continues to be hard at work to publish their narrative stories. As I continue to conference with my students, I have been impressed with the quality of the work. This paper will be an important first term grade, but students are also taking pride in their work and striving to make their papers as strong as possible.
