I'm very proud of you, well done! |
PN | Misha | For displaying confidence and curiosity in Inquiry where she thought about what it takes to be an author and illustrator of books. Misha was patient waiting for her turn with the writing materials, persistent as she continued to add details to her picture and story and inquisitive as she asked questions to help her make her writing better. You are a wonderful role model of a curious learner, Misha. |
