Here's to Jeff Ward--Thanks so much for letting me come into the classroom and truly co-teach a couple of writing lessons as kids turned their notes into paragraphs. I had a blast being a part of your classroom community for writing!
Here's to Colin Ellerbruch and Melinda Younger--Thanks for trying out Glogs with your students!!! It takes courage to step out and try a new tech tool with your kids! Well done!!
And here's to First Grade Team--Pat Piche, Jennifer Crouch, and Stacy Hestermann--who were incredible to work with during a descriptive paragraph writing unit! I had so much fun using mentor texts and teaching writing mini-lessons with you and your students. Thanks!
I am looking forward to upcoming collaborations with third grade (country research) as well as second grade (writing support)!
The Library Advisory Council had their first meeting November 2nd. These were the topics shared with the team:
- Sharing of Developing Power Library Plan
- Specific materials needed for grade levels
- New Internet Safety Professional Tech books
- Databases and Discovery Education as wonderful resources
- How we are circulating CCBA books
- Book Fair prifits were about $1,300--we are using some of it to host an author this year-Laurie Keller didn’t pan out after all, looking into Justin Matott and David Cronk
- Feedback on passes?
- Flexible schedule working well!
- Please make sure kids are still coming down to the library other than their weekly time; centers is a great time for this type of visit!
- Some kids who visit us regularly are already past their 20th visit and working toward their 30th! :) Some terrific first graders have already come for 20 times as well! Yippee! (Kids recieve a cool reading keychain--kind of like a dogtag--on their 20th visit as a celebration for the milestone!)
