Slice #23 One quarter to go
As I begin spring break, I reflect on this year. Three quarters…finished and one more to go before these students move on to seventh grade. This year has been a year unlike any other. I’ve never seen my students read and write so much. Proud…doesn’t even begin to describe what I’m feeling.
Writing! I’ve loved reading what you write. It’s like having a microscope to see inside you. Your writer’s notebooks are treasures! This month of slice of life has made such a difference! I’ve seen improvement in the writing technique of many students. Additionally, this has been an opportunity for me to get to know my students as people, not just students. What a privilege!
Reading! This year, we’ve welcomed authors into our world. We’ve skyped and tweeted authors. We’ve read and talked about ARCs. And we’ve read and read and read. Proud! This spring break has been earned by each of us with hard work. After I finish this blog post, I’m off to finish my first book of the break.
To my students: Enjoy your break! Blog, read, write! Have fun! Come back to school in April ready to take on the world.
My plan is to complete five books over break. Anyone care to take that challenge? Can you beat me? Happy Reading!
Hi Ms. Haseltine, I hope you are having a great spring break! Yesterday my friend came at like 11:30. She and her family drove from Ohio. We stayed up till 1:30! We woke up at 7:00. I expected to see more posts…I guess people are just having more fun. 😞 Well, we are having a GREAT time. Today we are going to pick up Armon (if you read my posts a week ago you would know who he is) I cannot wait to see the look on my brothers face. My mom told my brother that there is a mystery person who was to see you and suprise you so he has to go to the airport. I made Armon a perler bead mushroom from Mario for him and a perler bead ‘A’ 😛🌺HAVE A GREAT VACATION!🌺 😛

OK. I am almost finished with the secret tree.
I have decided to blog everyday until March is over. I want that prize, whatever the prize is. Ms. Haseltine, I have made a promise to keep blogging till March is over and to read over Spring Break. I am reading Send. Next I’m going to read Viola in Reel Life.
I just finished my first book, Kiara! 🙂
I love this challenge to your students. I bet some of them can take you! Kiara’s list is awesome! Some excellent books there. It sounds like you have a lot to be proud of and your students do too!
Thanks so much! They are a great group!
I’ve decided to do the whole March! I want to challenge myself and try to do the whole Spring break. Hopefully I remember to blog everyday!
I think I am going to try to do it everyday over spring break too. It would be a good goal to try to achieve. 👍
Zone day was so fun yesterday!! I read a lot. Zone day was short though because of SAMS. It was still fun. Our class found out that we will skype with a famous author Adriana Trigani. It will be awesome.
I am about to have an Easter egg hint with my cousins and brother. I am waiting for them to come to my grandparents house. I <3 Easter!!!!
I am going to try your challenge Ms. Haseltine!! I am going to read:
The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Perilous Journey
The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoners Dilema
The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict
The Rich Girl
Fear Hall: The Beginning
Viola in Rel Life
(I am rereading The Mysterious Benedict Society series. They are my all-time favorite series after Harry Potter!!!)
You have an amazing group of students! I like reading their comments on your blog.
I’m having a great time relaxing at home. I think this school year so far has gone by fast. I’m hoping on reading 4 books over break maybe more including inkheart. Lets see how much books I accomplish.
Thanks so much! Tune in…tomorrow’s blog post is inspired by your blog! 🙂
I had a pony tail in my hair and I put a hat on for my morning game and it looked like I cut my hair to right below my ear.
I’m so happy it’s spring break
Good job I didn’t have time today I just got back from picking up my glasses they are so cool I am almost done.
Hey I got a question the book you just finished did you start it when spring break started or were you like already reading it. I JUST FINISHED the SECRET TREE. I can’t believe that I can finish a book in one day.
Today me and my family bought the Hobbit and we are watching it tonight. Also we are digging and making a flower bed, I hope it’s beutiful!
Happy Spring Break Ms. Haseltine!

I finished The Perilous Journey!!! I can’t wait to get into the next one, so I’m going to stay up late reading. I’ll have plenty of time to catch up on my sleep on the ride to my Grandma’s house!! (If I have to I’ll read with a flashlight under my covers. I am going to bring one up to my room, just in case!)
