The kids were supposed to write a rough draft of their cause/effect poster in their writing journal. I was walking around to read what each student wrote, and the last one I read was this one. I thought it was the cutest thing ever!

This was the kids' first day back, and it was hard getting back into the routine today. It was kind of a rough morning with a couple of kids crying and a couple complaining really often about pains but then I got this note on my desk and it made me smile :)
