Reading in Interesting Positions

Some of our third graders read in the strangest places! As long as they are reading I'm happy though. My good friend Thierry K. here has been reading up a storm! He has met both reading goals for the past two months of Scoop Up Those Books and really loves reading series books. When asked if he reads for the ice cream reward, he said no... he just really loves to read! How cool is that?!

Coral Reef Food Chain Performance


Our class performed our coral reef food chain play on February 10, 2014. We performed twice that day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. The morning performance was for Pre-K, two third grade classes, a kindergarten class, and a fourth grade class. There were also parents in the room. That means we performed for over 100 people. The class was very nervous but they did a great job. Our visitors said that they learned a lot and we had some great listeners as well.Our afternoon performance wasn't as packed. There was a sixth grade class, the afternoon Pre-K, and some more parents and teachers. Mr. Martel, a supervisor at Montello, said that we reminded him of a lot of science he had forgotten when he taught sixth grade a few years ago. Sadly, Mr. Cliffe and Mrs. Gish couldn't make it. They were very busy in the school that day. Mr. Cliffe did ask if he could watch a special encore performance later on though. We are still waiting on his visit!
