Poetry Race Winner

Congratulations to our Great Poetry Race winner from last week! Remember that even if you don't have many people to read the poem to, you can write tally marks next to the person's name for each time you read the poem. Reading and rereading has been shown to improve fluency for students. This will help the overall ability to read new words quickly and fluently.

On Friday, the students were surprised by illustrator Deb Kern.  She shared her book Oh Garden, Oh Garden!  Thank so much for your visit Mrs. Kern, we loved your pictures.
