We wrote a list poem after reading a funny poem by Shel Silverstein. A list poem does exactly as described and collects content in a list form. See our 'Ouch' poems below.

The whole school participated in the retelling of a story, singing a folk song (Sasha), and dancing (we learned a jig!). Dental Hygienist presentation.

Home Reading

Funny but True! It becomes apparent around January which students spend time reading at home and which ones don't. In our busy lives it is increasingly difficult to carve out 20 mins of reading time. Yet it is the single most important thing a student can do to ensure school success. This infographic exemplifies the difference. Below are some tips on how to incorporate reading at home as well as some reading strategies to help your growing reader!

Meet Mr. Check In!

We added a 'Mr. Check In' to our reading pockets! Mr. Check In (not Mr. Chicken as the students kept thinking I was saying, haha!) is going to help remind us to 'Check for Understanding' as we are reading. We can ask questions about what we have just read, such as: Who is the story about? Where does the story take place? What just happened? Try this using this strategy when reading at home. 'Check In' and talk about what you've read.
