I will start today with a big thank you to all the parents that came out to conferences! It is with your help that makes each of our students so successful. Thank you for entrusting us with your children and helping us to make their educational experience the best it can be. 
Next, let me just say how fun Tuesday was in the world of reading. Each class performed readers' theaters, and they all did a fantastic job. It makes it so fun for me to see how excited they get about performing these. I had everybody from Harry Potter to Farmer Brown in my classroom and it was so fun to watch. 
Last week two of the three classes finally got to meet their Global Read Aloud partners. We visited Manitoba, Canada and Waco, Texas. The kids had a great time Skypeing with these classes and learning a little more about them and where they are from. We have continued reading One for the Murphy's, and when we return from break we will be discussing with our partner classes parts that we have read so far. Mr. Brown's class will also, fingers crossed, finally get to meet their connecting class in one way or another. There have been some technically difficulties and timing issues on their end that have prevented this from happening as of yet. 
When we come back from break students will also start meeting one-on-one with me to discuss what books they have reading and we will look at non-fiction. I hope everybody has a great, long weekend! See you Monday!
