Some fun news to start off our new year:
I was lucky enough to receive a grant this year from the Caledonia Education Foundation to purchase FIVE Kindles for our classroom! Students will be using these Kindles on their own and in groups during their reading workshop time. The major advantage of these Kindles is that they come with whispersync technology, which enables the students to listen to a professional narration of the book while they are reading. Books downloaded onto the classroom's Kindle account can also be lent out if no one is reading it.
6th grade spelling bee Thursday
The 6th graders will be competing against one another this Thursday, 5th hour (12:00-12:46) and 7th hour (1:37-2:30). We take the top ten finishers to move onto the all school spelling bee next week.
