We started talking about my other favorite trait “Word Choice” this week! We read an amazing story in Read Aloud that portrayed great WORD CHOICE…the can do kids felt like they were on the RAFT the whole time! The author wrote so well, that I did not even show them the pics…and they created VIVID mental images! I really recommend this book!

A BIG thanks to the Rotary Club
Today we were all (3rd graders) given a free dictionary donated to us from the Rotary CLub! You should have saw the excitement in the kids’ they were thrilled to get them! My students told me they were going to read their new dictionary, during their 20 minutes of reading tonight! They always put a smile on my face!
