We have been busy these past two weeks learning routines, getting to know each other, and making sure we are in the right place at the right time.  I have been busy getting to my new students.  I love learning that Harry Potter is a favorite read, Taylor Swift is a singer of choice for many, the Red Soxs are a fan fav, along with basketball and shopping.  I look forward to learning much more through reading and writing conferences and daily talks.

Through discussion I learned that students want to ………..

• Create/Perform Readers Theater
• Create Book Posters
• Read in Partnerships
• Research Topics (animals, history, inventors)
• Post Video Blogs
• Read at least one book as a class
• Take pictures an add captions to important class activities
• Create movies
• Create Podcasts
• Play Sparkle (spelling review game)
• Integrated Projects- cross cluster or reading/la/social studies
• Video Chatting with Other Schools
• Writing expository, narrative, or descriptive stories and getting them published

I look forward to implementing some of these ideas and much, much more!!! Stay tuned for a lot more information and creative learning!

Off we go-
