Week 27: Welcome 3rd Trimester!

Welcome To Trimester 3!! I can scarcely believe it's our last trimester together. I'm enjoying this group of students so much: let's make it count! We'll be finishing up our essay and focusing on prepping for RISE. I like to do this with as much physical movement and peer interaction as possible, so great ready for a lot of learning fun!

Check out the schedule for this week. Remember you need to keep reading--30 minutes a night at home is the goal. 

I'm really looking forward to ushering in many of you to our iRead Club when you complete your bingo card. T-shirts are ordered and will arrive soon. Congrats to these students for their outstanding reading: Gabe D., Josh J., Abby H., Emily D., MaKaye H., Hollie B.and Cooper C. They have completed their bingo sheets and have read 36 books! Students in the club earn a candy bar, t-shirt and a ticket into our epic iRead party in May. Keep reading everyone:)

Valentine's Day was my favorite teaching day all year. I do Book Speed Dating where students are able to sit across from other students and talk about their favorite book, listen to other's favorite book and make note on what they want to read. It's a blast and students had a good time talking books. It's also yields 100% engagement, which makes me very happy! Check out the photos here:  PHOTOS
