Snowed in!  I have had plans to expand this but alas the days get busy and this has not happened.

A new group of student teachers started yesterday and am so looking forward to working with them.  Their first day in the classroom was early release due to the snow. And you now the students were excited!

Here's to a day of soup, chili and cups of tea.  Stay warm!

And for tomorrow, remember EVERY CHILD:

•1.   reads something that he/she chooses

•2.   reads accurately

•3.   reads something he/she understands

•4.   writes about something personally    meaningful

•5.   talks with peers about reading and writing

•6.   listens to a fluent adult read aloud
