Intermediate Book Assembly

 On Friday afternoon I held our Intermediate Book Assembly. This year the book chosen was called Each Kindness and it was a book based on the idea of bullying, the way we treat each other and regret. It was the perfect book for this school year and once we read it as a group we talk about ways that we can treat one another better, kind words or actions we can use and about if we enjoyed the ending of the book.


 I was extra proud this year because out of ten classrooms, 6 of the readers come to me daily for reading.


Until next year...be KIND to one another. It matters.

Because of Winn Dixie

 We concluded our reading of the book Because of Winn Dixie this week and then had our "Winn Dixie" party while watching the movie. We had all of the same menu items as in the book, including Littmus Lozenges. The kids took notes on a Venn Diagram comparing the book to the movie and we plan to start a writing piece at the end of this week.

With all of the test prep this time of the year, this is EXACTLY what the kids needed.
