*We had a great time visiting our Book Buddies at Crisafulli today. Some of my first graders even got to see their siblings while we visited. The walk over was peaceful and fun walking through the snowy path!

*The class is doing an awesome job during reading groups and I'm so happy with the growth I've been seeing. Many students are beginning to read books with chapters (2-5 chapters.) Please take a look at the reading log I send home with students before they begin reading. Most nights I send students home to read one or two chapters a night. Please only read what is assigned so we can focus on different strategies each reading group, such as making predictions, making connections and reading with fluency.
