Also, many of you have shared that you would like feedback! Amy and I would love to do that for you, but we weren't sure what kind of feedback you would like. Here is a Google form to fill out if you'd like us to get in your room for some formal/informal feedback, or if you would like a colleague to come in and check out your class. And if you are interested in getting in to some of your colleague's classrooms to see anything (management, workshop, writing, GLAD, anything!), here is a link to the classroom daily schedules. If your's isn't here yet, please add here. Thanks!

Reading is Our Super Power!

Over the summer, many of you participated in our Voxer Book Whisperer Book Club! With the success of our first Star book club, we thought it might be fun to start another book club or two with some other books many of you have shown interest in. Some books we were thinking about: The Five Love Languages of Children, Reading in the Wild, and PBL in the Elementary Grades. The book chats would be informal and allow you the opportunity to connect and share with others about your take aways, challenges, and obstacles in your reading. If you are interested in participating, please complete the google form below. Once we get an idea of who would like to join and which book, we will be placing an order for the books. Of course, these are always optional, and if there is another book you would like to read, let us know! We can certainly have more than one club going at a time :)
