Nothing shows a love of reading more than a great music video! Check out our school grooving to "I'll Read You Maybe?!!"

Read-a-Thon

November is our school Read-a-Thon! This year, students and staff are trying to read 1.5 MILLION minutes in the month of November.

Wow! That's a lot of minutes.

We are reading for fun--and to raise money for our PTA.

See if you can guess who these people are that are reading in our READ-A-THON!

Book Club Modeling

This past week, I was invited by one of our sixth grade teachers to model a proficient book club. A small group of teachers read My Rotten Redheaded Older Brother by Patricia Polacco. We then prepped quality questions and had a discussion in the middle of her classroom while the students watched us and used a rubric to score how we did. We had a wonderful discussion with a lot of meaningful questions and connections. What a great way to model how a book discussion should look like and sound like. We will be doing it again next year.

Online Catalogs!

This week, fourth graders have learned some of the functions of our online catalog. We use Destiny, and it is really easy for students to use.

Fourth grade is pumped, because they were given their logins and passwords to place books on hold. It had been exciting to see so many kids revved up to read!
