Teacher Exchange Read Aloud

On Friday we celebrated I Love to Read Month with a teacher exchange.  I went down and read a few of our favorite books to the 5th grade class, and Mrs. Ruen came up to our room to share a book that she had written about her cat when she was younger.  The students really enjoyed Mrs. Ruen's book, and it was fun for me to head downstairs and see some familiar faces.  We also had a read in.

Magic Norm!

Last Friday Magic Norm visited Lanesboro to share with our students all the exciting places that reading can take us.  It was a great show!  The look of amazement in these young faces when watching a magic show is priceless!

Winter Authors' Celebration

Thanks to all the families that were able to make it on Friday to our Authors' Celebration.  The students really enjoy sharing their writing with their family, and I'm so proud of them for all their hard work!

Happy Valentine's Day!

This week we had fun decorating our classroom, decorating Valentine holders, and enjoying our party.  The students loved sledding on Friday.  We wished it would have been warmer so we could have enjoyed it for longer, but it was so fun for the short time we had!  Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

I Love to Read Month

We've been enjoying the kickoff to the Star Wars themed I Love to Read month.  The first Friday of the month, 2nd graders met up with a 5th grade buddy to share some good books.  We want to continue to meet up with the 5th graders once a month through the rest of the year because we enjoyed it so much!

Yesterday we had an all elementary read in.  Everyone stopped what they were doing to dive into a good book!  Students chose a spot that was right for them and got to reading!
