WE are blogging, let’s talk about books!

I’m so excited. Today was a wonderful day filled with students commenting on blog posts. I love some of the creative pseudonyms. What’s the best part of blogging for you, so far? Let’s talk about what we’re reading…anyone reading a great book? Please share good books to read!

To any former students: are you out there? Please comment and leave some words of wisdom for my sixth graders this year!

Back to School Night & Reading Signs

Whew,  Back to School night was such a whirlwind. There were lots of parents and lots of smiles. I ran out of time during first block, so I talked soooo fast during third and fourth blocks that I finished early. Ha! Parents, thank you so much for coming. I enjoyed meeting all of you.

Before Back to School Night, we spent another fun day reading and writing! Students are getting the hang of logging their in class reading and I’m impressed at how many books are being consumed by these sixth graders. Today we remembered our year in fifth grade and estimated how many books we read. From that number, we made a goal for sixth grade. Additionally, we created colorful signs that represented the number of books we read last year. We are going to have our picture taken with that sign. This is our jumping off point. This year, we are going to do everything we can to surpass that number. I can’t wait to post some pictures of students with their signs.

Tomorrow, we are going to leap into some writing! Good night from a very tired sixth grade teacher! 🙂
