Growing Brain Muscles

We have been working diligently this week on growing our brain muscles so that we can increase our read-to-self stamina.  We have really been working hard on READING.  We have talked about what read-to-self looks like and what it doesn't look like.  We have practiced doing it correctly and incorrectly.  We know that ~ the more you read, the better you read.  Please keep up with the reading logs each night.

We are also practicing good hallway behaviors.  We are trying to walk the halls on the color tiles and not touch the walls.  It might sound silly, but if we can grow our brains by learning this habit right now, we will be able to get to places much faster and with much less disruption to other classes that might be going on.

Please remember to send a snack for your child each day.  I am not able to provide snacks for students who do not bring a snack from home.
