Fourth-graders at Northaven Elementary in Jeffersonville, IN, are learning to compose their thoughts on paper using 140 characters or less. 

According to The Courier-Journal, before heading to Twitter, students practice tweets on light-blue note cards that line the classroom walls. 

"I think it's hard to put all of my thoughts into one sentence," said 9-year-old Jaleb. At the end of next month, students will begin a new classroom duty: maintaining a protected classroom Twitter account.
