Oh hello there!

I have not posted in over a month. Shame on me. I know, I know.... My bloggy resolution has already failed. Ah well, what can I blame my lack of blogging on? I'm not quite sure. Needless to say this has been a very interesting year. I thought I would share though our Ice Cream scoop bulletin board for independent reading was a success! Many of my students that were not so motivated to complete just right books were suddenly motivated to see their ice cream cone filled with scoops! Check it out!

 

I'm grateful for vacation. Even though I haven't done anything too exciting, it was just what I needed! DRAs will begin when we return from vacation. I will be responsible for all 52 DRAs for the fifth grade. I wouldn't want it any other way however, because I have been the sole person teaching the students reading this year. Remember, we are doing "subject specialization model." I will be working tomorrow in the classroom to create some fun activities for the students who are waiting to take their DRA. What do other people do for this? Any ideas, I'd love to hear! :) Take care bloggy friends!
